Also known as UBE1XPOC20CFAP124
Summary
UBA1 (ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme 1, HGNC:12469) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp11.3, encoding Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 1 (P22314). Catalyzes the first step in ubiquitin conjugation to mark cellular proteins for degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.9% of cancer cell lines).
The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the first step in ubiquitin conjugation to mark cellular proteins for degradation. This gene complements an X-linked mouse temperature-sensitive defect in DNA synthesis, and thus may function in DNA repair. It is part of a gene cluster on chromosome Xp11.23. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been described.

Function. Catalyzes the first step in ubiquitin conjugation to mark cellular proteins for degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Activates ubiquitin by first adenylating its C-terminal glycine residue with ATP, and thereafter linking this residue to the side chain of a cysteine residue in E1, yielding a ubiquitin-E1 thioester and free AMP. Essential for the formation of radiation-induced foci, timely DNA repair and for response to replication stress. Promotes the recruitment of TP53BP1 and BRCA1 at DNA damage sites.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer. Interacts with GAN (via BTB domain).
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Nucleus Nucleus Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modifications. ISGylated.
Disease relevance. Spinal muscular atrophy X-linked 2 (SMAX2) [MIM:301830] A lethal infantile form of spinal muscular atrophy, a neuromuscular disorder characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, leading to symmetrical muscle weakness and atrophy. Clinical features include hypotonia, areflexia, and multiple congenital contractures. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. VEXAS syndrome (VEXAS) [MIM:301054] A sporadic, often fatal, treatment-refractory inflammatory syndrome that develops in late adulthood. Clinical features include fevers, cytopenias, characteristic vacuoles in myeloid and erythroid precursor cells, dysplastic bone marrow, neutrophilic cutaneous and pulmonary inflammation, chondritis, and vasculitis. The disease affects only males and is associated with de novo somatic mutations. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Somatic variants affecting the initiator methionine of isoform 2 are recurrently found in VEXAS patients. These variants cause loss of isoform 2 and production of a shorter isoform with strongly reduced enzymatic activity from a downstream methionine (Met-67).
Domain organisation. The first 11 amino acids are essential for phosphorylation and exclusive nuclear localization.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Miscellaneous. There are two active sites within the E1 molecule, allowing it to accommodate two ubiquitin moieties at a time, with a new ubiquitin forming an adenylate intermediate as the previous one is transferred to the thiol site.
Similarity. Belongs to the ubiquitin-activating E1 family.
