RING finger, H2 subclass, found in vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 8 (Vps8) and similar proteins
Vps8 is the Rab-specific subunit of the endosomal tethering complex CORVET (class C core vacuole/endosome transport) that also includes Vps3 and a Class C Vps core complex composed of Vps11, Vps16, Vps18, and Vps33. CORVET operates at endosomes, controls traffic into late endosomes, and interacts with the Rab5/Vps21-GTP form. The CORVET-specific Vps3 and Vps8 subunits belong to the class D Vps. They form a subcomplex that interact with Rab5/Vps21, and is critical for localization and function of the CORVET tethering complex on endosomes. Vps8 contains an N-terminal WD40 repeat and a C-terminal C3H2C3-type RING-H2 finger.
Comment:C3H2C3-type RING-H2 finger consensus motif: C-X2-C-X(9-39)-C-X(1-3)-H-X(2-3)-H-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.
