    Abstract

    Through large-scale human genome mapping and sequencing of a region at chromosome 17q25.1 that is of particular interest because genes associated with breast, ovarian, and esophageal cancer are likely to be located there, we isolated the cDNA of a novel member of the family of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. The predicated peptide showed 97% identity in amino-acid sequence to murine ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2-230k (Mus UBE2-230k). The human cDNA consisted of 4878 nucleotides with an open reading frame encoding 1138 amino acids; the approximately 5 kb transcript was expressed predominantly in skeletal muscle and heart. The predicted UBE2-230k peptide contained a motif typical of the UBC domain that has been implicated in the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic system and related pathways.
