Ubiquitination is a post translationnal modification where an ubiquitin is attached to a protein. This modification has several consequences, it can lead to the degradation of the protein via the proteasome, it can change the protein localization or it can alter the interaction of the protein with other factors, this is why this modification plays an important role in the control of many cellular processes.

UBC9 is a E2. It is a lynchpin in the SUMO pathway, it interacts with E1 during the activation, then with the ubiquitin after the transfer and finally with E3 during conjugation. It is particularly important for the formation of polymeric chain when the number of SUMO exceeds 2.

15 residues are well conserved among the UBC family : Gly47, Lys48, Gly56, Tyr68, Pro69, Pro73, Phe77, His83, Pro84, Asn85, Gly90, Trp103, Pro105, Leu120, and Pro12

Most of them are non polar and they are unlikely to have a direct role in the catalytic action but they are probably positionned to maintain the special configuration of the active site.

Two insertions have been observed by comparing UBC9 with other UBCs :
- 5 residues (32-36) form most of a very exposed <scene name='60/604494/Beta_hairpin/1'>β-hairpin</scene> that connects strands β1 and β2.
- The residues Asp100 and Lys101 form a <scene name='60/604494/Bulge_in_a_loop/1'>bulge in a loop</scene> (residues 94–102) close to Cys93
Those insertions provide additionnal binding sites for new substrate without blocking the access to Cys
The Surface electric potential :


There is a negative patch surrounding the active site that is conserved between all UBCs, it is probably important in the interaction with Ubiquitin and E1, the common substrates of all UBC9s.


This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
But there are many particularities in the surface electric potential of UBC9, that probably reflect the specificity for E3 and the protein substrate. The electrostatic dipole is more important for UBC9 than for others UBCs. The positive charged are located on the back face of the molecule. One, for example, is located on the N-terminal region, it is composed of a segment of basic residues separated by nonpolar residues (13RKAWRK18). This <scene name='60/604494/Postive_patch/1'>positive patch is located close to the β-hairpin </scene>, the presence of those two specifities in the same region could be a sign that this site is responsible for the specificity of UBC9 for some particular E3 and protein substrates.
