RING finger, HC subclass, found in Arabidopsis thaliana MND1-interacting protein 1 (MIP1) and similar proteins
This subfamily includes Arabidopsis thaliana MIP1, RING finger protein 4 (RF4) and RING finger protein 298 (RF298). MIP1 interacts with MND1, HOP2 and XRI1. RF4 and RF298 are putative E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that may mediate E2-dependent protein ubiquitination. Members of this subfamily contain a typical C3HC4-type RING-HC finger.
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.
