RNF220
Function
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that promotes the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of SIN3B (By similarity). Independently of its E3 ligase activity, acts as a CTNNB1 stabilizer through USP7-mediated deubiquitination of CTNNB1 promoting Wnt signaling (PubMed:25266658, PubMed:33964137). Plays a critical role in the regulation of nuclear lamina (PubMed:33964137).
Involvement in disease
Leukodystrophy, hypomyelinating, 23, with ataxia, deafness, liver dysfunction, and dilated cardiomyopathy
HLD23
An autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder with systemic manifestations. Affected individuals show delayed motor development and ataxic gait in early childhood that progresses to spastic paraplegia with loss of ambulation in the first decades of life. Additional features include progressive sensorineural hearing loss, hepatic dysfunction, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Death occurs in the first or second decades. Brain imaging shows hypomyelination, diffuse white matter abnormalities, and thin corpus callosum.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway
Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Post-translational modifications
Auto-ubiquitinated; leads to proteasomal degradation.
Tissue Specificity
Ubiquitously expressed. Abundant in brain and spinal cord, particularly in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex. In fetal tissues expressed in the cerebellum, spinal cord and cortex.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
- Nucleus
