ID:UBE2C_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 C; EC=6.3.2.19; AltName: Full=UbcH10; AltName: Full=Ubiquitin carrier protein C; AltName: Full=Ubiquitin-protein ligase C; FUNCTION: Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. In vitro catalyzes 'Lys- 11'- and 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination. Acts as an essential factor of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated ubiquitin ligase that controls progression through mitosis. Acts by initiating 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin chains on APC/C substrates, leading to the degradation of APC/C substrates by the proteasome and promoting mitotic exit. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + ubiquitin + protein lysine = AMP + diphosphate + protein N-ubiquityllysine. PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. SUBUNIT: Component of the APC/C complex. PTM: Autoubiquitinated by the APC/C complex, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Its degradation plays a central role in APC/C regulation, allowing cyclin-A accumulation before S phase entry. APC/C substrates inhibit the autoubiquitination of UBE2C/UBCH10 but not its E2 function, hence APC/C remaining active until its substrates have been destroyed. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family.
