Term Information

Accession
GO:0004839
Name
ubiquitin activating enzyme activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: E1 + ubiquitin + ATP--> E1-ubiquitin + AMP + PPi, where the E1-ubiquitin linkage is a thioester bond between the C-terminal glycine of Ub and a sulfhydryl side group of an E1 cysteine residue. This is the first step in a cascade of reactions in which ubiquitin is ultimately added to a protein substrate. Source: GOC:BioGRID, Wikipedia:Ubiquitin-activating_enzyme
Comment
The ubiquitin activating enzyme catalyzes a ligation reaction.
