The human Ube2j1 and Ube2j2 are the only ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) that are localized to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through its C-terminal transmembrane domains. Ube2j1 is a known substrate of MAPK signalling pathway and it is phosphorylated at serine-184 during ER stress. Here, we demonstrate that Ube2j1, not Ube2j2 is essential for the recovery of cells from transient ER stress. The ectopic expression of wild-type Ube2j1 and phospho-mimic mutant, Ube2j1 but not phospho-mutant Ube2j1 can recover cells from ER stress. We also found that ubiquitin-ligase (E3), c-IAP1 preferentially interacts with phosphorylated Ube2j1. Moreover, we noticed that phosphorylated Ube2j1 is rapidly degraded by the proteasome during ER stress cell recovery. Taken together, these data suggest that Ube2j1 and its phosphorylation is important for transient ER stress cell recovery and the phosphorylated Ube2j1 is degraded by the proteasome.

GRTH/DDX25 is a testicular RNA helicase expressed in germ cells that plays a crucial role in completion of spermatogenesis. Previously, we demonstrated a missense mutation (RH) of GRTH gene in Japanese infertile patients (5.8%) with non-obstructive azoospermia.

The p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase)/MK2 [MAPKAP (MAPK-activated protein) kinase-2] signalling pathway is a major regulator of stress- and cytokine-induced gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Using phosphoproteomics we identified the ER (endoplasmic reticulum)-associated ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ube2j1 as a potential substrate of MK2. We demonstrate that Ube2j1 is phosphorylated in a cytokine-, cytosolic stress- and LPS (lipopolysaccharide)-induced manner.

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubc6p is a tail-anchored protein that is localized to the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and has been implicated in the degradation of many misfolded membrane proteins in yeast. We have undertaken characterization studies of two human homologs, hsUbc6 and hsUbc6e. Both possess tail-anchored protein motifs, display high conservation in their catalytic domains, and are functional ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes as determined by in vitro thiol-ester assay.
