RING finger, HC subclass, found in Arabidopsis thaliana protein ariadne homolog 6 (ARI6) and similar proteins
This subfamily includes ARI6 and ARI11. They might act as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases, or as part of E3 complexes, which accept ubiquitin from specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and then transfer it to substrates. 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.
