Introduction

WWP2 is a family member of Homologous to the E6-AP Carboxyl Terminus (HECT) E3 Ligases which accept a ubiquitin molecule from an enzyme upstream in the ubiquitination pathway and transfer the ubiquitin to a target signaling molecule or transcription factor. The thioester bond formation between an active site Cystine on HECT E3 Ligases and ubiquitin differentiates this family of enzymes from the more abundant RING family of ubiquitin ligases which do not covalently bond to the ubiquitin ligand. ---
