Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme/RWD-like; Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2; Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme; and SUMO-conjugating enzyme Ubc9. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
ubc-9. In C. elegans,
ubc-9 is involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; pharyngeal muscle development; and protein sumoylation.
