Function

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates monoubiquitination of 'Lys-119' of histone H2A (H2AK119Ub), thereby playing a central role in histone code and gene regulation (PubMed:15386022, PubMed:16359901, PubMed:21772249, PubMed:25355358, PubMed:25519132, PubMed:26151332, PubMed:33864376). H2AK119Ub gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression and participates in X chromosome inactivation of female mammals. May be involved in the initiation of both imprinted and random X inactivation (By similarity). Essential component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development (PubMed:16359901, PubMed:26151332). PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones, rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (PubMed:26151332). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is enhanced by BMI1/PCGF4 (PubMed:21772249). Acts as the main E3 ubiquitin ligase on histone H2A of the PRC1 complex, while RING1 may rather act as a modulator of RNF2/RING2 activity (Probable). Association with the chromosomal DNA is cell-cycle dependent. In resting B- and T-lymphocytes, interaction with AURKB leads to block its activity, thereby maintaining transcription in resting lymphocytes (By similarity). Also acts as a negative regulator of autophagy by mediating ubiquitination of AMBRA1, leading to its subsequent degradation (By similarity).

Activity summary

RING2 also known as RING1B or RNF2 is a protein that functions as a member of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1). This protein contains a RING-finger domain facilitating ubiquitin ligase activity. It has a molecular mass of approximately 38 kDa. RING2/RNF2/RING1B is expressed in various tissues including the brain heart and lungs indicating its fundamental role across different biological systems.

Biological function summary

RING2/RNF2/RING1B regulates gene expression by modifying chromatin structure especially through monoubiquitination of histone H2A at lysine 119. This action occurs within the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 a multiprotein structure important for maintaining the transcriptional repression of target genes. It influences cell cycle progression and development by silencing genes involved in proliferation and differentiation.

Pathways

RING2/RNF2/RING1B's role connects to the Polycomb group (PcG) pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. Within these pathways it interacts with proteins like BMI1 and EZH2 which are other components of polycomb complexes. These interactions help modulate chromatin dynamics and control the expression of several genes involved in cell identity and development.

Associated diseases and disorders

Dysfunction or aberrant expression of RING2/RNF2/RING1B has links to cancer and neurological disorders. Its relationship with proteins like CBX8 ties it to pathways of oncogenesis where it can influence tumorigenesis through misregulation of gene silencing. Furthermore changes in RING2/RNF2/RING1B expression or function may contribute to developmental disorders associated with improper neuronal development.
