B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 46 (TRIM46) and similar proteins; TRIM46, also known as gene Y protein (GeneY) or tripartite, fibronectin type-III and C-terminal SPRY motif protein (TRIFIC), is a microtubule-associated protein that specifically localizes to the proximal axon, partly overlaps with the axon initial segment (AIS) at later stages, and organizes uniform microtubule orientation in axons. It controls neuronal polarity and axon specification by driving the formation of parallel microtubule arrays. TRIM46 belongs to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins, which are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

coiled-coil (CC) domain of Drosophila brain tumor (brat) and similar proteins; This family contains the coiled-coil (CC) region of Drosophila brain tumor (Brat), a translational repressor that belongs to the tripartite motif (TRIM) protein superfamily. TRIM proteins play important roles in various cellular processes and are involved in many diseases which consists of two B-box domains and a coiled-coil (CC) domain at the N-terminal region, and an NHL domain at the C-terminus. Brat localizes at the basal cortex during asymmetric division of Drosophila neuroblasts by directly interacting with the scaffolding protein Miranda (Mira), which it does through the CC-NHL domain tandem, indicating that the function of the Brat CC domain is to assemble Brat-NHL in dimeric form which is necessary for Mira binding. Brat CC forms an elongated antiparallel dimer similar to its other TRIM protein counterparts, but the overall length of Brat CC dimer is shorter than the TRIMs.

SPRY domain; SPRY Domain is named from SPla and the RYanodine Receptor and it is found in many eukaryotic proteins with a wide range of functions. It is a protein-interaction module involved in many important signalling pathways like RNA processing, regulation of histone H3 methylation, innate immunity or embryonic development. It can be divided into 11 subfamilies based on amino acid sequence similarity or the presence of additional protein domains. The greater SPRY family is divided into the SPRY/B30.2 (which contains a PRY extension at the N-terminal) and SPRY-only sub-families which are preceded by a subdomain that is structurally similar to the PRY region. SPRY/B30.2 structures revealed a bent beta-sandwich fold comprised of two beta-sheets. Distant homologs are domains in butyrophilin/ marenostrin/pyrin.

PRY/SPRY domain in tripartite motif-containing proteins 1, 9, 18, 36, 46, 67,76 (TRIM1, TRIM9, TRIM18, TRIM36, TRIM46, TRIM67, TRIM76); This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of several Class I TRIM proteins, including TRIM1, TRIM9, TRIM18, TRIM36, TRIM46, TRIM67 and TRIM76. TRIM1 (also known as MID2) and its close homolog, TRIM18 (also known as MID1), both contain a B30.2-like domain at their C-terminus and a single fibronectin type III (FN3) motif between it and their N-terminal RBCC domain. Their coiled-coil motifs mediate both homo- and heterodimerization, a prerequisite for association of the rapamycin-sensitive PP2A regulatory subunit Alpha 4 with microtubules. Mutations in TRIM18 have shown to cause Opitz syndrome, a disorder causing congenital anomalies such as cleft lip and palate as well as heart defects. TRIM9 is expressed mainly in the cerebral cortex, and functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Its immunoreactivity is severely decreased in affected brain areas in Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, possibly playing an important role in the regulation of neuronal function and participating in pathological process of Lewy body disease through its ligase. TRIM36 interacts with centromere protein-H, one of the kinetochore proteins and possibly associates with chromosome segregation; an excess of TRIM36 may cause chromosomal instability. TRIM46 has not yet been characterized. TRIM67 negatively regulates Ras activity via degradation of 80K-H, leading to neural differentiation, including neuritogenesis. TRIM76 (also known as cardiomyopathy-associated protein 5 or CMYA5) is a muscle-specific member of the TRIM superfamily, but lacks the RING domain. It is possibly involved in protein kinase A signaling as well as vesicular trafficking. It has also been implicated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and cardiac disease. The PRY-SPRY domain in these TRIM families is suggested to serve as the target binding site.

B-box-type 1 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing proteins, TRIM36, TRIM46 and similar proteins; The family includes tripartite motif-containing proteins, TRIM36 and TRIM46, both of which belong to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 1 B-box (Bbox1) zinc finger is characterized by a C6H2 zinc-binding consensus motif. TRIM36, the human ortholog of mouse Haprin, also known as RING finger protein 98 (RNF98) or zinc-binding protein Rbcc728, is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase expressed in the germ plasm. It has been implicated in acrosome reaction, fertilization, and embryogenesis, as well as in carcinogenesis. TRIM36 functions upstream of Wnt/beta-catenin activation, and plays a role in controlling the stability of proteins regulating microtubule polymerization during cortical rotation, and subsequent dorsal axis formation. It is also potentially associated with chromosome segregation by interacting with the kinetochore protein centromere protein-H (CENP-H), and colocalizing with the microtubule protein alpha-tubulin. Its overexpression may cause chromosomal instability and carcinogenesis. It is, thus, a novel regulator affecting cell cycle progression. Moreover, TRIM36 plays a critical role in the arrangement of somites during embryogenesis. TRIM46, also known as gene Y protein (GeneY) or tripartite, fibronectin type-III and C-terminal SPRY motif protein (TRIFIC), is a microtubule-associated protein that specifically localizes to the proximal axon, partly overlaps with the axon initial segment (AIS) at later stages, and organizes uniform microtubule orientation in axons. It controls neuronal polarity and axon specification by driving the formation of parallel microtubule arrays.

Based on different consensus sequence and the spacing of the 7-8 zinc-binding residues, B-box-type zinc fingers can be divided into two groups, type 1 (Bbox1: C6H2) and type 2 (Bbox2: CHC3H2). The family corresponds to type 2 B-box (Bbox2).

RING finger, HC subclass, found in tripartite motif-containing protein 67 (TRIM67) and similar proteins; TRIM67, also known as TRIM9-like protein (TNL), is selectively expressed in the cerebellum. It interacts with PRG-1, an important molecule in the control of hippocampal excitability dependent on presynaptic LPA2 receptor signaling, and 80K-H (also known as glucosidase II beta), a protein kinase C substrate. It negatively regulates Ras signaling in cell proliferation via degradation of 80K-H, leading to neural differentiation including neuritogenesis. TRIM67 belongs to the C-I subclass of the TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in Xenopus laevis nuclear factor 7 (xNF7) and similar proteins; xNF7 is a maternally expressed novel zinc finger nuclear phosphoprotein. It acts as a transcription factor that determines dorsal-ventral body axis. xNF7 harbors a B-box motif that shows high sequence similarity with B-Box-type zinc finger 2 found in tripartite motif-containing proteins (TRIMs). The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

RING finger, HC subclass, found in tripartite motif-containing protein 8 (TRIM8) and similar proteins; TRIM8, also known as glioblastoma-expressed RING finger protein (GERP) or RING finger protein 27 (RNF27), is a probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that may promote proteasomal degradation of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and further regulate interferon-gamma signaling. It functions as a new p53 modulator that stabilizes p53 impairing its association with MDM2 and inducing the reduction of cell proliferation. TRIM8 deficit dramatically impairs p53 stabilization and activation in response to chemotherapeutic drugs. TRIM8 also modulates tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-triggered nuclear factor-kappaB (NF- kappa B) activation by targeting transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) activated kinase 1 (TAK1) for K63-linked polyubiquitination. Moreover, TRIM8 modulates translocation of phosphorylated STAT3 into the nucleus through interaction with Hsp90beta and consequently regulates transcription of Nanog in embryonic stem cells. It also interacts with protein inhibitor of activated STAT3 (PIAS3), which inhibits IL-6-dependent activation of STAT3. TRIM8 belongs to the C-V subclass of the TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil domain, as well as an uncharacterized region positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The coiled coil domain is required for homodimerization and the region immediately C-terminal to the RING motif is sufficient to mediate the interaction with SOCS1.

RING finger, HC subclass, found in muscle-specific RING finger protein 2 (MuRF-2) and similar proteins; MuRF-2, also known as tripartite motif-containing protein 55 (TRIM55) or RING finger protein 29 (RNF29), is a muscle-specific E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase in ubiquitin-mediated muscle protein turnover and is also a ligand of the transactivation domain of the serum response transcription factor (SRF). It is predominantly slow-fibre associated and highly expressed in embryonic skeletal muscle. MuRF-2 associates transiently with microtubules, myosin, and titin during sarcomere assembly. It has been implicated in microtubule, intermediate filament, and sarcomeric M-line maintenance in striated muscle development, as well as in signaling from the sarcomere to the nucleus. It plays an important role in the earliest stages of skeletal muscle differentiation and myofibrillogenesis. It is developmentally downregulated and is assembled at the M-line region of the sarcomere and with microtubules. MuRF-2 belongs to the C-II subclass of the TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, and an acidic residue-rich (AR) domain. It also harbors a MURF family-specific conserved box (MFC) between its RING-HC finger and Bbox domains.

RING finger, HC subclass, found in muscle-specific RING finger protein 1 (MuRF-1) and similar proteins; MuRF-1, also known as tripartite motif-containing protein 63 (TRIM63), RING finger protein 28 (RNF28), iris RING finger protein, or striated muscle RING zinc finger, is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase in ubiquitin-mediated muscle protein turnover. It is predominantly fast (type II) fibre-associated in skeletal muscle and can bind to many myofibrillar proteins, including titin, nebulin, the nebulin-related protein NRAP, troponin-I (TnI), troponin-T (TnT), myosin light chain 2 (MLC-2), myotilin, and T-cap. The early and robust upregulation of MuRF-1 is triggered by disuse, denervation, starvation, sepsis, or steroid administration resulting in skeletal muscle atrophy. It also plays a role in maintaining titin M-line integrity. It associates with the periphery of the M-line lattice and may be involved in the regulation of the titin kinase domain. It also participates in muscle stress response pathways and gene expression. MuRF-1 belongs to the C-II subclass of the TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, and an acidic residue-rich (AR) domain.

PRY/SPRY domain in tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) proteins, including TRIM5, TRIM6, TRIM7, TRIM10, TRIM11, TRIM17, TRIM20, TRIM21, TRIM27, TRIM35, TRIM38, TRIM41, TRIM50, TRIM58, TRIM60, TRIM62, TRIM69, TRIM72, NF7 and bloodthirsty; This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of several Class IV TRIM proteins, including TRIM7, TRIM35, TRIM41, TRIM50, TRIM62, TRIM69, TRIM72, TRIM protein NF7 and bloodthirsty (bty). TRIM7 interacts with glycogenin and stimulates its self-glucosylating activity via its SPRY domain. TRIM35 may play a role as a tumor suppressor and is implicated in the cell death mechanism. TRIM41 is localized to speckles in the cytoplasm and nucleus, and functions as an E3 ligase that catalyzes the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of protein kinase C. TRIM50, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is deleted in Williams-Beuren (WBS) syndrome, a multi-system neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at chromosome region 7q11.23. TRIM62 is involved in the morphogenesis of the mammary gland; loss of TRIM62 gene expression in breast is associated with increased risk of recurrence in early-onset breast cancer. TRIM69 is a novel testis E3 ubiquitin ligase that may function to ubiquitinate its particular substrates during spermatogenesis. In humans, TRIM69 localizes in the cytoplasm and nucleus, and requires an intact RING finger domain to function. TRIM protein NF7, which also contains a chromodomain (CHD) at the N-terminus and an RFP (Ret finger protein)-like domain at the C-terminus, is required for its association with transcriptional units of RNA polymerase II which is mediated by a trimeric B box. In Xenopus oocyte, xNF7 has been identified as a nuclear microtubule-associated protein (MAP) whose microtubule-bundling activity, but not E3-ligase activity, contributes to microtubule organization and spindle integrity. Bloodthirsty (bty) is a novel gene identified in zebrafish and has been shown to likely play a role in in regulation of the terminal steps of erythropoiesis. TRIM72 has been shown to perform a critical function in membrane repair following acute muscle injury by nucleating the assembly of the repair machinery at injury sites. The PRY-SPRY domain in these TRIM families is suggested to serve as the target binding site.

PRY/SPRY domain in tripartite motif-binding protein 7 (TRIM7)-like, including TRIM7, TRIM10, TRIM15, TRIM26, TRIM39, TRIM41; This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of several tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) proteins, including TRIM7 (also referred to as glycogenin-interacting protein, RING finger protein 90 or RNF90), TRIM10, TRIM15, TRIM26, TRIM39 and TRIM41. TRIM7 or GNIP interacts with glycogenin and stimulates its self-glucosylating activity via its SPRY domain. TRIM10 (also known as hematopoietic RING finger 1 (HERF1) or TRIM10/HERF1) plays a key role in definitive erythroid development; downregulation of the Spi-1/PU.1 oncogene induces the expression of TRIM10/HERF1, a key factor required for terminal erythroid cell differentiation and survival. Antiviral activity of TRIM15 is dependent on the ability of its B-box to interact with the MLV Gag precursor protein; downregulation of TRIM15, along with TRIM11, enhances virus release suggesting that these proteins contribute to the endogenous restriction of retroviruses in cells. Tripartite motif-containing 26 (TRIM26) function is as yet unknown; however, since it is localized in the human histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region, TRIM26 may play a role in immune response although studies show no association between TRIM26 polymorphisms and the risk of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease. TRIM39 is a MOAP-1 (Modulator of Apoptosis)-binding protein that stabilizes MOAP-1 through inhibition of its poly-ubiquitination process. TRIM41 (also known as RING finger-interacting protein with C kinase or RINCK) functions as an E3 ligase that catalyzes the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of protein kinase C.

B-box-type 1 zinc finger found in midline-1 (MID1) and similar proteins; MID1, also termed midin, or midline 1 RING finger protein, or putative transcription factor XPRF, or RING finger protein 59 (RNF59), or tripartite motif-containing protein 18 (TRI18), is a microtubule-associated E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal differentiation, cell migration and adhesion, and programmed cell death along specific regions of the ventral midline during embryogenesis. It monoubiquinates the alpha4 subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), promoting proteosomal degradation of the catalytic subunit of PP2A (PP2Ac) and preventing the A and B subunits from forming an active complex. It promotes allergen and rhinovirus-induced asthma through the inhibition of PP2A activity. It is strongly upregulated in cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) and directs lytic granule exocytosis and cytotoxicity of killer T cells.

RING finger, HC subclass, found in tripartite motif-containing protein TRIM65 and similar proteins; TRIM65 is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that interacts with the innate immune receptor MDA5, enhancing its ability to stimulate interferon-beta signaling. It functions as a potential oncogenic protein that negatively regulates p53 through ubiquitination, providing insight into the development of novel approaches targeting TRIM65 for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) treatment, and also overcoming chemotherapy resistance. Moreover, TRIM65 negatively regulates microRNA-driven suppression of mRNA translation by targeting TNRC6 proteins for ubiquitination and degradation. TRIM65 belongs to the C-IV subclass of the TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing proteins TRIM7, TRIM27 and similar proteins; The family includes TRIM7 and TRIM27, both of which belong to the C-IV subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by an N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif. TRIM7, also known as glycogenin-interacting protein (GNIP) or RING finger protein 90 (RNF90), is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates c-Jun/AP-1 activation by Ras signalling. Its phosphorylation and activation by MSK1 in response to direct activation by the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway can stimulate TRIM7 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in mediating Lys63-linked ubiquitination of the AP-1 coactivator RACO-1, leading to RACO-1 protein stabilization. Moreover, TRIM7 binds and activates glycogenin, the self-glucosylating initiator of glycogen biosynthesis. TRIM27, also termed RING finger protein 76 (RNF76), or RET finger protein (RFP), or zinc finger protein RFP, is a nuclear E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is highly expressed in testis and in various tumor cell lines. Expression of TRIM27 is associated with prognosis of colon and endometrial cancers. TRIM27 was first identified as a fusion partner of the RET receptor tyrosine kinase. It functions as a transcriptional repressor and associates with several proteins involved in transcriptional activity, such as enhancer of polycomb 1 (Epc1), a member of the Polycomb group proteins, and Mi-2beta, a main component of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex, and the cell cycle regulator retinoblastoma protein (RB1). It also interacts with HDAC1, leading to downregulation of thioredoxin binding protein 2 (TBP-2), which inhibits the function of thioredoxin. Moreover, TRIM27 mediates Pax7-induced ubiquitination of MyoD in skeletal muscle atrophy. It also inhibits muscle differentiation by modulating serum response factor (SRF) and Epc1. Furthermore, TRIM27 promotes non-canonical polyubiquitination of PTEN, a lipid phosphatase that catalyzes PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 (PIP3) to PtdIns(4,5)P2 (PIP2). It is an IKKepsilon-interacting protein that regulates IkappaB kinase (IKK) function and negatively regulates signaling involved in the antiviral response and inflammation. In addition, TRIM27 forms a protein complex with MBD4 or MBD2 or MBD3, and thus plays an important role in the enhancement of transcriptional repression through MBD proteins in tumorigenesis, spermatogenesis, and embryogenesis. It is also a component of an estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) regulatory complex, and is involved in estrogen receptor-mediated transcription in MCF-7 cells. Meanwhile, TRIM27 interacts with the hinge region of chromosome 3 protein (SMC3), a component of the multimeric cohesin complex that holds sister chromatids together and prevents their premature separation during mitosis.

HC subclass of RING (RING-HC) finger and its variants; The RING finger is a specialized type of Zn-finger of 40 to 60 residues that binds two atoms of zinc. It is defined by the "cross-brace" motif that chelates zinc atoms by eight amino acid residues, typically Cys or His, arranged in a characteristic spacing. Canonical RING motifs have been categorized into two major subclasses, RING-HC (C3HC4-type) and RING-H2 (C3H2C3-type), according to their Cys/His content. There are also many variants of RING fingers. Some have a different Cys/His pattern. Some lack a single Cys or His residue at typical Zn ligand positions, especially, the fourth or eighth zinc ligand is prevalently exchanged for an Asp, which can chelate Zn in a RING finger as well. This family corresponds to the HC subclass of RING (RING-HC) fingers that are characterized by containing C3HC4-type canonical RING-HC fingers or noncanonical RING-HC finger variants, including C4C4-, C3HC3D-, C2H2C4-, and C3HC5-type modified RING-HC fingers. The canonical RING-HC finger has been defined as C-X2-C-X(9-39)-C-X(1-3)-H-X(2-3)-C-X2-C-X(4-48)-C-X2-C. It binds two Zn ions in a unique "cross-brace" arrangement, which distinguishes it from tandem zinc fingers and other similar motifs. RING-HC fingers can be found in a group of diverse proteins with a variety of cellular functions, including oncogenesis, development, viral replication, signal transduction, the cell cycle, and apoptosis. Many of them are ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s) that serve as scaffolds for binding to ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s, also referred to as ubiquitin carrier proteins or UBCs) in close proximity to substrate proteins, which enables efficient transfer of ubiquitin from E2 to the substrates.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 11 (TRIM11) and similar proteins; TRIM11, also known as protein BIA1, or RING finger protein 92 (RNF92), is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in the development of the central nervous system. It is overexpressed in high-grade gliomas and promotes proliferation, invasion, migration and glial tumor growth. TRIM11 acts as a potential therapeutic target for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) through mediating the degradation of CCHS-associated polyalanine-expanded Phox2b. Trim11 modulates the function of neurogenic transcription factor Pax6 through the ubiquitin-proteosome system, and thus plays an essential role for Pax6-dependent neurogenesis. It also binds to and destabilizes a key component of the activator-mediated cofactor complex (ARC105), humanin, a neuroprotective peptide against Alzheimer's disease-relevant insults, and further regulates ARC105 function in transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) signaling. Moreover, TRIM11 negatively regulates retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-mediated interferon-beta (IFNbeta) production and antiviral activity by targeting TANK-binding kinase-1 (TBK1). It may contribute to the endogenous restriction of retroviruses in cells. It enhances N-tropic murine leukemia virus (N-MLV) entry by interfering with Ref1 restriction. It also suppresses the early steps of human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 transduction, resulting in decreased reverse transcripts. TRIM11 belongs to the C-IV subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a SPRY/B30.2 domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain.

Zinc finger, C3HC4 type (RING finger); The C3HC4 type zinc-finger (RING finger) is a cysteine-rich domain of 40 to 60 residues that coordinates two zinc ions, and has the consensus sequence: C-X2-C-X(9-39)-C-X(1-3)-H-X(2-3)-C-X2-C-X(4-48)-C-X2-C where X is any amino acid. Many proteins containing a RING finger play a key role in the ubiquitination pathway.

Fibronectin type III and SPRY containing 1 (FSD1) domain includes PRY at the N-terminus; This domain is part of the fibronectin type III and SPRY domain containing 1 (FSD1) and FSD1-like (FSD1L) proteins. These are centrosome-associated proteins that are characterized by an N-terminal coiled-coil region downstream of B-box (BBC) domain, a central fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and C-terminal repeats in PRY/SPRY domain. The FSD1 protein associates with a subset of microtubules and may be involved in the stability and organization of microtubules during cytokinesis.
