283-336 2.83e-17

Variant RING finger, HC subclass (C4C4-type), found in retinoblastoma-binding protein 6 (RBBP6) and similar proteins; RBBP6, also known as proliferation potential-related protein, protein P2P-R, retinoblastoma-binding Q protein 1 (RBQ-1), or p53-associated cellular protein of testis (PACT), is a nuclear E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in multiple processes, such as the control of gene expression, mitosis, cell differentiation, and cell apoptosis. It plays a role in both promoting and inhibiting apoptosis in many human cancers, including esophageal, lung, hepatocellular, and colon cancers, familial myeloproliferative neoplasms, as well as in human immunodeficiency virus-associated nephropathy (HIVAN). It functions as an Rb- and p53-binding protein that plays an important role in chaperone-mediated ubiquitination and possibly in protein quality control. It acts as a scaffold protein to promote the assembly of the p53/TP53-MDM2 complex, resulting in an increase of MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of p53/TP53, and leading to both apoptosis and cell growth. It is also a double-stranded RNA-binding protein that plays a role in mRNA processing by regulating the human polyadenylation machinery and modulating expression of mRNAs with AU-rich 3' untranslated regions (UTRs). Moreover, RBBP6 ubiquitinates and destabilizes the transcriptional repressor ZBTB38 that negatively regulates transcription and levels of the MCM10 replication factor on chromatin. Furthermore, RBBP6 is involved in tunicamycin-induced apoptosis by mediating protein kinase (PKR) activation. RBBP6 contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain and a C4C4-type RING finger, whose overall folding is similar to that of the typical C3HC4-type RING-HC finger. RBBP6 interacts with chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp40 through its N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain. It promotes the ubiquitination of p53 by Hdm2 in an E4-like manner through its RING finger. It also interacts directly with the pro-proliferative transcription factor Y-box-binding protein-1 (YB-1) via its RING finger.

286-324 1.60e-05

RING finger, HC subclass, found in postreplication repair protein RAD18 and similar proteins; RAD18, also known as HR18 or RING finger protein 73 (RNF73), is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in post replication repair of UV-damaged DNA via its recruitment to stalled replication forks. It associates to the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBE2B to form the UBE2B-RAD18 ubiquitin ligase complex involved in mono-ubiquitination of DNA-associated PCNA on K164. It also interacts with another E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme RAD6 to form a complex that monoubiquitinates proliferating cell nuclear antigen at stalled replication forks in DNA translesion synthesis. Moreover, Rad18 is a key factor in double-strand break DNA damage response (DDR) pathways via its association with K63-linked polyubiquitylated chromatin proteins. It can function as a mediator for DNA damage response signals to activate the G2/M checkpoint in order to maintain genome integrity and cell survival after ionizing radiation (IR) exposure. RAD18 contains a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger, a ubiquitin-binding zinc finger domain (UBZ), a SAP (SAF-A/B, Acinus and PIAS) domain, and a RAD6-binding domain (R6BD).

286-326 3.19e-03

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.

RING finger found in polycomb group RING finger protein 2 (PCGF2) and similar proteins; PCGF2, also known as DNA-binding protein Mel-18, RING finger protein 110 (RNF110), or zinc finger protein 144 (ZNF144), is one of six PcG RING finger (PCGF) homologs (PCGF1/NSPc1, PCGF2/Mel-18, PCGF3, PCGF4/BMI1, PCGF5, and PCGF6/MBLR). It serves as the core component of a canonical Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), which is composed of a chromodomain-containing protein (CBX2, CBX4, CBX6, CBX7 or CBX8) and a Polyhomeotic protein (PHC1, PHC2, or PHC3). Like other PCGF homologs, PCGF2 associates with ring finger protein 2 (RNF2) to form a RNF2-PCGF heterodimer, which is catalytically competent as an E3 ubiquitin transferase and is the scaffold for the assembly of additional components. Moreover, PCGF2 uniquely regulates PRC1 to specify mesoderm cell fate in embryonic stem cells. It is required for PRC1 stability and maintenance of gene repression in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and essential for ESC differentiation into early cardiac-mesoderm precursors. PCGF2 also plays a significant role in the angiogenic function of endothelial cells (ECs) by regulating endothelial gene expression. Furthermore, PCGF2 is a SUMO-dependent regulator of hormone receptors. It facilitates the deSUMOylation process by inhibiting PCGF4/BMI1-mediated ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of SUMO1/sentrin-specific protease 1 (SENP1). It is also a novel negative regulator of breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) that inhibits the stem cell population and in vitro and in vivo self-renewal through the inactivation of Wnt-mediated Notch signaling. PCGF2 contains a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger.

286-327 4.72e-03

RING finger, HC subclass, found in Polycomb Group RING finger homologs (PCGF1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6), and similar proteins; This subfamily includes six Polycomb Group (PcG) RING finger homologs (PCGF1/NSPc1, PCGF2/Mel-18, PCGF3, PCGF4/BMI1, PCGF5, and PCGF6/MBLR) that use epigenetic mechanisms to maintain or repress expression of their target genes. They were first discovered in fruit flies and are well known for silencing Hox genes through modulation of chromatin structure during embryonic development. PCGF homologs play important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and tumorigenesis. They all have been found to associate with ring finger protein 2 (RNF2). The RNF2-PCGF heterodimer is catalytically competent as an E3 ubiquitin transferase and is the scaffold for the assembly of additional components. Moreover, PCGF homologs are critical components in the assembly of distinct Polycomb Repression Complex 1 (PRC1) related complexes which is involved in the maintenance of gene repression and which target different genes through distinct mechanisms. The Drosophila PRC1 core complex is formed by the Polycomb (Pc), Polyhomeotic (Ph), Posterior sex combs (Psc), and Sex combs extra (Sce, also known as Ring) subunits. In mammals, the composition of PRC1 is much more diverse and varies depending on the cellular context. All PRC1 complexes contain homologs of the Drosophila Ring protein. Ring1A/RNF1 and Ring1B/RNF2 are E3 ubiquitin ligases that mark lysine 119 of histone H2A with a single ubiquitin group (H2AK119ub). Mammalian homologs of the Drosophila Psc protein, such as PCGF2/Mel-18 or PCGF4/BMI1, regulate PRC1 enzymatic activity. PRC1 complexes can be divided into at least two classes according to the presence or absence of CBX proteins, which are homologs of Drosophila Pc. Canonical PRC1 complexes contain CBX proteins that recognize and bind H3K27me3, the mark deposited by PRC2. Therefore, canonical PRC1 complexes and PRC2 can act together to repress gene transcription and maintain this repression through cell division. Non-canonical PRC1 complexes, containing RYBP (together with additional proteins, such as L3mbtl2 or Kdm2b) rather than the CBX proteins have recently been described in mammals. PCGF homologs contain a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger.

282-342 7.47e-03

RING finger, HC subclass, found in tripartite motif-containing protein 35 (TRIM35) and similar proteins; TRIM35, also known as hemopoietic lineage switch protein 5 (HLS5), is a putative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) suppressor that inhibits phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (PKM2), which is involved in aerobic glycolysis of cancer cells and further suppresses the Warburg effect and tumorigenicity in HCC. It also negatively regulates Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)- and TLR9-mediated type I interferon production by suppressing the stability of interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7). Moreover, TRIM35 regulates erythroid differentiation by modulating globin transcription factor 1 (GATA-1) activity. TRIM35 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.
