• Purity

  >95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by Colloidal Coomassie? Blue stain

• Activity

  Recombinant Human His₆--UBE2N/UBE2V2 Complex is a member of the Ubiquitin- conjugating (E2) enzyme family that receives Ubiquitin from a Ubiquitin- activating (E1) enzyme and subsequently interacts with a Ubiquitin ligase (E3) to conjugate Ubiquitin to substrate proteins.  Reaction conditions will need to be optimized for each specific application.  We recommend an initial His_6--UBE2N/UBE2V2 Complex concentration of 0.1--1 μM.

Background: UBE2N/UBE2V2 Complex

Ubiquitin -conjugating Enzyme E2N (UBE2N), also known as Ubiquitin- conjugating Enzyme 13 (Ubc13), forms a functional complex with the catalytically inactive UBE2V2 (human homologue of yeast MMS2) protein (1). Human UBE2N/Ubc13 shares 100% and 99% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs, respectively, while human UBE2V2 shares 99% aa sequence identity with its mouse and rat orthologs. The UBE2N/UBE2V2 Complex functions with Ubiquitin ligases (E3s), including RNF111 and RNF8, to synthesize Lys63--linked Ubiquitin chains (2,3) that can either be unanchored or attached to target proteins (4, 5). The UBE2N/UBE2V2 complex has important roles in facilitating responses to various forms of DNA damage (2, 6).
