RING finger, HC subclass, found in RING finger protein 186 (RNF186) and similar proteins
RNF186 is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase with an N-terminal C3HC4-type RING-HC finger and two putative C-terminal transmembrane domains which enable it to localize in a certain organelle. It regulates RING-dependent self-ubiquitination, as well as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis through interaction with the Bcl-2 family protein BNip1.
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.
