Description (Vector)
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase required for assembly of repair proteins to sites of DNA damage. Catalyzes the 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of histone H2A and H2AX. Following DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), it is recruited to the sites of damage by ATM-phosphorylated MDC1, mediates the ubiquitination of histones H2A and H2AX, thereby promoting the formation of TP53BP1 and BRCA1 ionizing radiation-induced foci (IRIF). Promotes the formation of 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains and functions with the specific ubiquitin-conjugating UBE2N/UBC13. Substrates that are polyubiquitinated at 'Lys-63' are usually not targeted for degradation. Enforces the G2/M DNA damage checkpoint. Controls the recruitment of UIMC1-BRCC3 (RAP80-BRCC36) and PAXIP1/PTIP to DNA damage sites following DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Ubiquitination of histone H2A requires UBE2N but not MMS2 (UBE2V2). May also ubiquitinate histone H2B. Catalyzes the 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of PCNA. May be required for proper exit from mitosis after spindle checkpoint activation and may regulate cytokinesis. May play a role in the regulation of RXRA-mediated transcriptional activity. Not involved in RXRA ubiquitination by UBE2E2.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
