UBC5/YDR059C Protein Information Help

Standard Name Ubc5p
Systematic Name Ydr059cp
ORF Classification Verified
Description Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme; mediates selective degradation of short-lived, abnormal, or excess proteins, including histone H3; central component of the cellular stress response; expression is heat inducible; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; UBC5 has a paralog, UBC4, that arose from the whole genome duplication (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
