Facts about E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase UBR2.
Plays a critical role in chromatin inactivation and chromosome-wide transcriptional silencing during meiosis through ubiquitination of histone H2A. Binds leucine and is a negative regulator of the leucine-mTOR signaling pathway, thereby controlling cell growth.
