General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function ubiquitin ligase UBR5 specifically enhances trans-activation of smooth muscle-specific promoters by the myocardin family of proteins. UBR5 significantly augments the ability of myocardin to induce expression of endogenous smooth muscle cell marker genes independent on its E3 ligase function. Depletion of endogenous UBR5 by small interfering RNA in fibroblast cells attenuates myocardin-induced smooth muscle-specific gene expression, and UBR5 knockdown in smooth muscle cells results in down-regulation of smooth muscle-specific genes. UBR5 can attenuate myocardin protein degradation resulting in increased myocardin protein expression without affecting myocardin mRNA expression. The effects of UBR5 on myocardin requires only the HECT and UBR1 domains of UBR5 Mus musculus
