RING finger, HC subclass, found in leucine-rich repeat and sterile alpha motif-containing protein 1 (LRSAM1) and similar proteins
LRSAM1, also known as Tsg101-associated ligase (TAL), or RIFLE, is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that physically associates with, and selectively ubiquitylates, Tsg101, an E2-like molecule that regulates vesicular trafficking processes in yeast and mammals. It regulates a Tsg101-associated complex responsible for the sorting of cargo into cytoplasm-containing vesicles that bud at the multivesicular body and at the plasma membrane. LRSAM1 is a multidomain protein containing an N-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR), followed by several recognizable motifs, including an ezrin-radixin-moezin (ERM) domain, a coiled-coil (CC) region, a SAM domain, and a C-terminal C3HC4-type RING-HC finger domain.
Comment:C3HC4-type RING-HC finger consensus motif: C-X2-C-X(9-39)-C-X(1-3)-H-X(2-3)-C-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.
