H2AK119Ub gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression and participates in X chromosome inactivation of female mammals. May be involved in the initiation of both imprinted and random X inactivation (By similarity). Essential component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development (PubMed:16359901, PubMed:26151332). PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (PubMed:26151332). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is enhanced by BMI1/PCGF4 (PubMed:21772249). Acts as the main E3 ubiquitin ligase on histone H2A of the PRC1 complex, while RING1 may rather act as a modulator of RNF2/RING2 activity (Probable). Association with the chromosomal DNA is cell-cycle dependent. In resting B- and T-lymphocytes, interaction with AURKB leads to block its activity, thereby maintaining transcription in resting lymphocytes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9CQJ4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11513855, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15386022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16359901, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16714294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20696397, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21772249, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25355358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25519132, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26151332, ECO:0000305}. |zf-C3HC4| |RING-like zinc finger domain binding| |sex chromatin| |euchromatin| |histone H2A-K119 monoubiquitination| |PRC1 complex| |histone H2A monoubiquitination| |histone H2A ubiquitination| |PcG protein complex| |gastrulation with mouth forming second| |histone monoubiquitination| |MLL1 complex| |negative regulation of G0 to G1 transition| |histone ubiquitination| |regulation of G0 to G1 transition| |anterior/posterior axis specification| |protein monoubiquitination| |axis specification| |ubiquitin ligase complex| |gastrulation| |negative regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |anterior/posterior pattern specification| |ubiquitin protein ligase activity| |ubiquitin-protein transferase activity| |germ cell development| |nuclear body| |negative regulation of cell cycle process| |regionalization| |cellular process involved in reproduction in multicellular organism| |histone modification| |covalent chromatin modification| |chromatin binding| |regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |pattern specification process| |embryonic morphogenesis| |negative regulation of cell cycle| |developmental process involved in reproduction| |mitotic cell cycle| |protein ubiquitination| |gamete generation| |chromatin organization| |regulation of cell cycle process| |protein modification by small protein conjugation| |multicellular organismal reproductive process| |sexual reproduction| |zinc ion binding| |multicellular organism reproduction| |negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |embryo development| |protein modification by small protein conjugation or removal| |multi-organism reproductive process| |chromosome organization| |negative regulation of molecular function| |regulation of cell cycle| |negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |negative regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |negative regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of RNA metabolic process| |cell cycle| |negative regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of biosynthetic process| |cell development| |negative regulation of gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp532|TIC10 10μM R08 exp532]]|-2.07| |[[:results:exp68|Clomiphene 4.4μM R02 exp68]]|-1.85| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
