background:
EDD is a progestin-regulated gene that was isolated from T-47D human breast cancer cells. Based on sequence homology, EDD appears to be a human homolog of the Drosophila hyperplastic discs (hyd) gene, a tumor suppressor gene that is required for control of imaginal disc growth. EDD contains a HECT domain in the carboxy terminus. HECT domain-containing proteins function as ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3 enzymes. EDD has been shown to bind to ubiquitin, and like other HECT family proteins, may function as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase.
Function:
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which is a component of the N-end rule pathway. Recognizes and binds to proteins bearing specific amino-terminal residues that are destabilizing according to the N-end rule, leading to their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation (By similarity). May be involved in maturation and/or transcriptional regulation of mRNA. May play a role in control of cell cycle progression. May have tumor suppressor function. Regulates DNA topoisomerase II binding protein (TopBP1) in the DNA damage response. Plays an essential role in extraembryonic development.
Subunit:
Binds TOPBP1. Associates with CDK9 and TFIIS/TCEA1 and forms a transcription regulatory complex made of CDK9, RNAP II, UBR5 and TFIIS/TCEA1 that can stimulate target gene transcription (e.g. gamma fibrinogen/FGG) by recruiting their promoters. Associates with the E3 ligase complex containing DYRK2, EDD/UBR5, DDB1 and VPRBP proteins (EDVP complex). Interacts directly with DYRK2.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed. Most abundant in testis and expressed at high levels in brain, pituitary and kidney.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
Similarity:
Contains 1 HECT (E6AP-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase) domain.
Contains 1 PABC domain.
Contains 1 UBR-type zinc finger.
