gene: ubc-9 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; SAM domain binding activity; and SUMO conjugating enzyme activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; pharyngeal muscle development; and protein sumoylation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in body wall musculature; coelomocyte; pharynx; tail; and in male. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy; ovarian cancer; and urinary bladder cancer. Is an ortholog of human UBE2I (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 I).
