Enables ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity. Involved in defense response to bacterium; protein ubiquitination; and regulation of protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within determination of adult lifespan. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in GABAergic neurons; cholinergic neurons; coelomocyte; somatic neurons; and vulval muscle. Is an ortholog of human WWP1 (WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1) and WWP2 (WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2).
Predicted to enable unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein folding. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of prefoldin complex. Is an ortholog of human PFDN4 (prefoldin subunit 4).
Predicted to be part of Cul4-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Is an ortholog of human DCAF4 (DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 4); DCAF4L1 (DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 4 like 1); and DCAF4L2 (DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 4 like 2).
Involved in determination of adult lifespan and methylglyoxal metabolic process. Expressed widely. Is an ortholog of human GLOD4 (glyoxalase domain containing 4).
