RING finger, HC subclass, found in RING finger protein 212 (RNF212) and similar proteins
RNF212 is a dosage-sensitive regulator of crossing-over during mammalian meiosis. It plays a central role in designating crossover sites and coupling chromosome synapsis to the formation of crossover-specific recombination complexes. It also functions as an E3 ligase for SUMO modification. RNF212 contains an N-terminal C3HC4-type RING-HC finger.
Comment:C3HC4-type RING-HC finger consensus motif: 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 and the number of X residues varies in different fingers
Comment:A RING finger typically binds two zinc atoms, with its Cys and/or His side chains in a unique "cross-brace" arrangement.
