Ubiquitin activating enzyme (E1) subunit UBA2. UBA2 is part of the heterodimeric activating enzyme (E1), specific for the SUMO family of ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls). E1 enzymes are part of a conjugation cascade to attach Ub or Ubls, covalently to substrate proteins consisting of activating (E1), conjugating (E2), and/or ligating (E3) enzymes. E1 activates ubiquitin by C-terminal adenylation, and subsequently forms a highly reactive thioester bond between its catalytic cysteine and Ubls C-terminus. The E1 also associates with E2 and promotes ubiquitin transfer to the E2's catalytic cysteine. Post-translational modification by SUMO family of ubiquitin-like proteins (Ublps) is involved in cell division, nuclear transport, the stress response and signal transduction. UBA2 contains both the nucleotide-binding motif involved in adenylation and the catalytic cysteine involved in the thioester intermediate and Ublp transfer to E2.
