RING finger, H2 subclass, found in RING finger protein 215 (RNF215) and similar proteins
This family includes uncharacterized protein RNF215 and similar proteins. Although its biological function remains unclear, RNF215 shares high sequence similarity with PA-TM-RING ubiquitin ligases, which have been characterized by containing an N-terminal signal peptide, a protease-associated (PA) domain, a transmembrane (TM) domain and a C-terminal C3H2C3-type RING-H2 finger.
Comment:based on the structures of other RING-H2 fingers with bound zinc
Comment:C3H2C3-type RING-H2 finger consensus motif: C-X2-C-X(9-39)-C-X(1-3)-H-X(2-3)-H-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.
