Description: Homo sapiens ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 1 (UBA1), transcript variant 2, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_153280): 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

ID:UBA1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 1; AltName: Full=Protein A1S9; AltName: Full=Ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1; FUNCTION: 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 an ubiquitin- E1 thioester and free AMP. PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. SUBUNIT: Monomer (By similarity). Interacts with GAN (via BTB domain). INTERACTION: Q76353:- (xeno); NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-709688, EBI-6248077; Q9H2C0:GAN; NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-709688, EBI-764342; P63279:UBE2I; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-709688, EBI-80168; PTM: ISGylated. DISEASE: Defects in UBA1 are the cause of spinal muscular atrophy X-linked type 2 (SMAX2) [MIM:301830]; also known as X-linked lethal infantile spinal muscular atrophy, distal X-linked arthrogryposis multiplex congenita or X-linked arthrogryposis type 1 (AMCX1). Spinal muscular atrophy refers to a group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, leading to symmetrical muscle weakness and atrophy. SMAX2 is a lethal infantile form presenting with hypotonia, areflexia, and multiple congenital contractures. 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.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
