WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1

The WWP1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is found is many tissues. This protein has activity known as E3 ubiquitin ligase. Proteins with this activity are involved in the process that targets other proteins to be broken down (degraded) within cells. Protein degradation is a normal process that removes damaged or unnecessary proteins and helps maintain the normal functions of cells.

Normal function

The WWP1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is found is many tissues. This protein has activity known as E3 ubiquitin ligase. Proteins with this activity are involved in the process that targets other proteins to be broken down (degraded) within cells. Protein degradation is a normal process that removes damaged or unnecessary proteins and helps maintain the normal functions of cells.

The WWP1 protein can attach (bind) to various other proteins and mark them for degradation or alteration. In particular, the WWP1 protein binds to an enzyme called PTEN. The PTEN enzyme acts as a tumour suppressor, which means that it helps regulate cell division by keeping cells from growing and dividing (proliferating) too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way. To function, the PTEN enzyme has to bind to another PTEN enzyme (dimerize). Binding of the WWP1 protein to the PTEN enzyme impairs the PTEN enzyme's ability to dimerize, impairing the enzyme's activity.
