Summary

UBE3B (ubiquitin protein ligase E3B, HGNC:13478) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q24.11, encoding Ubiquitin-protein ligase E3B (Q7Z3V4). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates.

The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: E1 ubiquitin-activating enzymes, E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, and E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases. This gene encodes a member of the E3 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and transfers the ubiquitin to the targeted substrates. A HECT (homology to E6-AP C-terminus) domain in the C-terminus of the longer isoform of this protein is the catalytic site of ubiquitin transfer and forms a complex with E2 conjugases. Shorter isoforms of this protein which lack the C-terminal HECT domain are therefore unlikely to bind E2 enzymes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Function. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Ubiquitinates BCKDK and targets it for degradation, thereby regulating various metabolic processes. Involved in the positive regulation of neurite branching in hippocampal neurons and the control of neuronal spine number and morphology, through the ubiquitination of PPP3CC.

Subcellular location. Postsynaptic density.

Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.

Disease relevance. Kaufman oculocerebrofacial syndrome (KOS) [MIM:244450] A syndrome characterized by blepharophimosis, ptosis, mild upslanting of the palpebral fissures, epicanthus, ectodermal anomalies, developmental delay, and severe intellectual disability with absent speech. Proportionate growth retardation with a small head circumference/microcephaly, congenital malformations, muscular hypotonia, anomalies on brain imaging with hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, and low cholesterol levels are variably present. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.

Miscellaneous. Major isoform.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 69 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.
