ENZYME entry: EC 6.2.1.64

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/6.2.1.64
Accepted Name
E1 NEDD8-activating enzyme
Alternative Name(s)
NEDD-activating enzyme E1
Reaction catalysed
ATP + [NEDD8 protein] + [E1 NEDD8-activating enzyme]-L-cysteine = AMP + diphosphate + [E1 NEDD8-activating enzyme]-S-[NEDD8 protein]-yl-L-cysteine
Comment(s)
  • Some RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase (EC 2.3.2.27) are not able to bind a substrate protein directly.
  • Instead, they form complexes with a cullin scaffold protein and a substrate recognition module, which are known as CRL (Cullin-RING- Ligase) complexes.
  • The cullin protein needs to be activated by the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 in a process known as neddylation.
  • Like ubiquitin, the NEDD8 protein ends with two glycine residues.
  • The E1 NEDD8-activating enzyme activates NEDD8 in an ATP-dependent reaction by forming a high-energy thioester intermediate between NEDD8 and one of its cysteine residues.
  • The activated NEDD8 is subsequently transferred to a cysteine residue of EC 2.3.2.34, and is eventually conjugated to a lysine residue of specific substrates in the presence of the appropriate E3 transferase (EC 2.3.2.32).
