B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 40 (TRIM40) and similar proteins
TRIM40, also termed probable E3 NEDD8-protein ligase, or RING finger protein 35, may function as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase of the NEDD8 conjugation pathway. It promotes neddylation of IKBKG/NEMO, stabilizing NFKBIA, and inhibiting NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and activity. TRIM40 belongs to the C-V subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by an N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.
