Term Name: ubiquitin-like protein transferase activity
Synonyms: E2, small conjugating protein ligase activity, small conjugating protein transferase activity, small protein conjugating enzyme activity, ubiquitin-like conjugating enzyme activity, ubiquitin-like-protein ligase activity
Definition: Catalysis of the transfer of a ubiquitin-like from one protein to another via the reaction X-ULP + Y = Y-ULP + X, where both X-ULP and Y-ULP are covalent linkages. ULP represents a ubiquitin-like protein.
