RNF144A is an E3 ubiquitin ligase belonging to the RING-between RING (RBR) family of ubiquitin ligases, whose specific members have been shown to function as RING-HECT hybrid E3 ligases. [5] [6] [7] RNF144A is most closely related to RNF144B at the protein level, and the two proteins together comprise a subdomain within the RBR family of proteins. [8] [9] [10] The ubiquitin ligase activity of RNF144A catalyzes ubiquitin linkages at the K6-, K11- and K48- positions of ubiquitin in vitro, and is regulated by self-association through its transmembrane domain. [11] [12]

The biological functions of RNF144A is/are relatively unknown beyond its intrinsic enzymatic activity. Somatic mutations of RNF144A have been catalogued in cancer genetic databases in several primary human tumors, including breast, stomach, lymphoma, glioblastoma, uterine and lung cancers. Other members of the RBR family have been associated with neurological and immunological diseases, most notably parkin, HOIL-1L and HOIP(RNF31). [13] [14] [15] [16]

Current known substrates of RNF144A targeted for degradation are proteins involved in DNA repair, heatshock/chaperone function and signalling, consistent with the predominant association of this protein with cancer, and include (DNA-PKcs), PARP1, HSPA2, BMI1, and RAF1. [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]

Parkin is a 465-amino acid residue E3 ubiquitin ligase, a protein that in humans and mice is encoded by the PARK2 gene. Parkin plays a critical role in ubiquitination – the process whereby molecules are covalently labelled with ubiquitin (Ub) and directed towards degradation in proteasomes or lysosomes. Ubiquitination involves the sequential action of three enzymes. First, an E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme binds to inactive Ub in eukaryotic cells via a thioester bond and mobilises it in an ATP-dependent process. Ub is then transferred to an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme before being conjugated to the target protein via an E3 ubiquitin ligase. There exists a multitude of E3 ligases, which differ in structure and substrate specificity to allow selective targeting of proteins to intracellular degradation.

ITCH is a HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligase that is ablated in non-agouti-lethal 18H mice. Itchy mice develop a severe immunological phenotype after birth that includes hyperplasia of lymphoid and hematopoietic cells, and stomach and lung inflammation. In humans ITCH deficiency causes altered physical growth, craniofacial morphology defects, defective muscle development, and aberrant immune system function. ITCH contains a C2 domain, proline-rich region, WW domains, HECT domain, and multiple amino acids that are phosphorylated and ubiquitinated.

Mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (MUL1) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MUL1 gene on chromosome 1.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">HACE1</span> Protein-coding gene found in humans

HECT domain and ankyrin repeat containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HACE1 gene.

Linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) is a multi-protein complex and the only known E3 ubiquitin ligase able to conjugate ubiquitin in a head-to-tail manner to generate linear (M1-linked) polyubiquitin chains. The complex is currently known to be composed of three proteins: heme-oxidized IRP2 ubiquitin ligase 1 (HOIL-1), HOIL-1-interacting protein (HOIP), and Shank-associated RH domain-interacting protein (SHARPIN),,. HOIL-1 and HOIP are both E3 ubiquitin ligases, however, the specific linear ubiquitin-ligating activity is enacted by HOIP. Mice deficient in HOIP are embryonically lethal. Two cases of mutated HOIP have been detected in humans. These patients presented with autoinflammation and immunodeficiency,. HOIL-1 is required for LUBAC assembly and stability as demonstrated by embryonic lethality in HOIL-1 deficient mice. Recently, it has been noted, that HOIL-1 is also able to catalyze formation of oxyester bonds between the C-terminus of ubiquitin and serine/threonine of substrate protein in TLR signaling. SHARPIN exhibits a significant sequence similarity to HOIL-1 and is important for LUBAC stability. Spontaneous point mutation in the Sharpin gene in mice leads to development of chronic proliferative dermatitis (cpdm),. Both HOIL-1 and SHARPIN bind to HOIP through their ubiquitin-like (UBL) domain,. LUBAC consisting of either HOIP-HOIL-1 or HOIP-SHARPIN is functional in vitro, however the greatest activity of the complex has been observed in the presence of all three components.
