Protein function
Encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase involed in monoubiquitination of H2B.
Phenotype
/Remarks: hub1 and
hub2 mutations do not lead to additive flowering-time phenotypes.
[Cao et al., 2008][Gu et al., 2009] Overexpressor: HUB1 overexpressor does not display any flowering-time phenotype.
[Dhawan et al., 2009] Single mutant: hub1 single mutant is early flowering under both SD and LD conditions.
[Cao et al., 2008][Gu et al., 2009][Dhawan et al., 2009] Function:E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that monoubiquitinates H2B to form H2BK143ub1. H2BK143ub1 gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation and is also prerequisite for H3K4me and maybe H3K79me. It thereby plays a central role in histone code and gene regulation. Forms a ubiquitin ligase complex in cooperation with the E2 enzyme UBC2/RAD6. Required for the regulation of flowering time and defense against necrotrophic fungal pathogens (PubMed:12535538, PubMed:17329565, PubMed:17329563, PubMed:19286969). Involved in the control of seed dormancy and germination (PubMed:21799800).
