Function |
E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a crucial role in the activation of the IKBKE-dependent branch of the type I interferon signaling pathway (PubMed:24882218, PubMed:31694946). In concert with the ubiquitin-conjugating E2 enzyme UBE2K, synthesizes unanchored 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains that promote the oligomerization and autophosphorylation of IKBKE leading to stimulation of an antiviral response (PubMed:24882218). Ubiquitinates also MYC and inhibits its transcription activation activity, maintaining the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (By similarity). |
