Summary: Enables ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including long-term memory; negative regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction; and neuron development. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adult mushroom body; brain; embryonic cortex; gonad; and neuroblast of ventral nervous system. Used to study Angelman syndrome; autism spectrum disorder; chromosome 15q11.2 deletion syndrome; epilepsy; and intellectual disability. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Angelman syndrome. Orthologous to human UBE3A (ubiquitin protein ligase E3A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Drosophila endogenously expresses Dube3a (fly UBE3A homolog) in glial cells and neurons. A robust seizure-like phenotype was observed in flies overexpressing Dube3a in glial cells, but not neurons. Glial-specific knockdown of ATPalpha also produced seizure-like behavior, and this phenotype was rescued by simultaneously overexpressing ATPalpha and Dube3a in glia.
Title: Glial overexpression of Dube3a causes seizures and synaptic impairments in Drosophila concomitant with down regulation of the Na(+)/K(+) pump ATPα.
Negative regulation of Tkv by Ube3a was conserved in mammalian cells. These results reveal a critical role for Ube3a in regulating NMJ synapse development by repressing BMP signaling. This study sheds new light onto the neuronal functions of UBE3A and provides novel perspectives for understanding the pathogenesis of UBE3A-associated disorders.
