Domain

The RING-type zinc finger is required for the ubiquitination of target proteins.

The FYVE-type zinc finger domain is required for localization to the recycling endosome membranes and the function in endocytic recycling.

Function

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that regulates several biological processes through the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of various target proteins. Mediates 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination of PRR5L and its subsequent proteasomal degradation thereby indirectly regulating cell migration through the mTORC2 complex. Ubiquitinates the caspases CASP8 and CASP10, promoting their proteasomal degradation, to negatively regulate cell death downstream of death domain receptors in the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Negatively regulates the tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway through targeting of RIPK1 to ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation. Negatively regulates p53/TP53 through its direct ubiquitination and targeting to proteasomal degradation. Indirectly, may also negatively regulate p53/TP53 through ubiquitination and degradation of SFN. May also play a role in endocytic recycling.

Pathway

Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.

Post-translational modifications

Autoubiquitinated.

Palmitoylated.

Undergoes caspase-mediated cleavage upon death-receptor activation, by TNFSF10 for instance. May be mediated by the caspases CASP8 and CASP10 in a negative feedback loop.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitous. Detected in spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and peripheral blood leukocytes.

Cellular localization

  • Cytoplasm
  • Cytosol
  • Cell membrane
  • Peripheral membrane protein
  • Recycling endosome membrane
  • Peripheral membrane protein
  • The FYVE-type zinc finger may mediate phosphatidylinositol phosphate-binding and control subcellular localization.
