Summary
UBE2W (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 W, HGNC:25616) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8q21.11, encoding Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 W (Q96B02). Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins.
This gene encodes a nuclear-localized ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) that, along with ubiquitin-activating (E1) and ligating (E3) enzymes, coordinates the addition of a ubiquitin moiety to existing proteins. The encoded protein promotes the ubiquitination of Fanconi anemia complementation group proteins and may be important in the repair of DNA damage. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

- human Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) is homologous to the Arabidopsis thaliana UBC-16 gene product and contains 2 nuclear localization signals (PMID:16368532)

- Ube2w has novel enzymatic properties that direct ubiquitination of the N terminus of substrates (PMID:23696636)
- We show the ubequitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) Ube2w uses a unique mechanism to facilitate the specific ubiquitination of the alpha-amino group (PMID:25436519)
- TRIM5alpha requires Ube2W to anchor Lys63-linked ubiquitin chains and restrict reverse transcription. (PMID:26101372)
- Thus, although Rnf4 and Ube2w functionally interact in vitro, these genetic experiments indicate that in response to DNA damage Ube2w and Rnf4 function in distinct pathways. (PMID:27185577)
- we show in vitro that UBE2W can modify the N-terminus of both a-synuclein and a tau tetra-repeat domain with a single ubiquitin. We demonstrate that an engineered N-terminal ubiquitin modification changes the aggregation process of both proteins, resulting in the formation of structurally distinct aggregates (PMID:31518613)

Function. Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. Specifically monoubiquitinates the N-terminus of various substrates, including ATXN3, MAPT/TAU, POLR2H/RPB8 and STUB1/CHIP, by recognizing backbone atoms of disordered N-termini. Involved in degradation of misfolded chaperone substrates by mediating monoubiquitination of STUB1/CHIP, leading to recruitment of ATXN3 to monoubiquitinated STUB1/CHIP, and restriction of the length of ubiquitin chain attached to STUB1/CHIP substrates by ATXN3. After UV irradiation, but not after mitomycin-C (MMC) treatment, acts as a specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme for the Fanconi anemia complex by associating with E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase FANCL and catalyzing monoubiquitination of FANCD2, a key step in the DNA damage pathway. In vitro catalyzes ‘Lys-11’-linked polyubiquitination. UBE2W-catalyzed ubiquitination also occurs in the presence of inactive RING/U-box type E3s, i.e. lacking the active site cysteine residues to form thioester bonds with ubiquitin, or even in the absence of E3, albeit at a slower rate.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with FANCL. Interacts with STUB1/CHIP.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed, with highest expression in brain, liver, pancreas and heart.
Post-translational modifications. Autoubiquitinated at Met-1.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Similarity. Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 82 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
