E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF114 (RNF114)

The protein contains 228 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 25694 Da.

 

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that promotes the ubiquitination of various substrates (PubMed:23645206, PubMed:25165885). In turn, participates in the regulation of many biological processes including cell cycle, apoptosis, osteoclastogenesis as well as innate or adaptive immunity (PubMed:25165885, PubMed:28708287). Acts as negative regulator of NF-kappa-B-dependent transcription by promoting the ubiquitination and stabilization of the NF-kappa-B inhibitor TNFAIP3 (PubMed:25165885). May promote the ubiquitination of TRAF6 as well (PubMed:28708287). Acts also as a negative regulator of T-cell activation (PubMed:25165885). Inhibits cellular dsRNA responses and interferon production by targeting MAVS component for proteasomal degradation (PubMed:25165885). Ubiquitinates the CDK inhibitor CDKN1A leading to its degradationand probably also CDKN1B and CDKN1C (PubMed:23645206). This activity stimulates cell cycle G1-to-S phase transition and suppresses cellular senescence. May play a role in spermatogenesis. (updated: Oct. 16, 2019)

CLONING

Capon et al. (2008) identified RNF114, which they called ZNF313, in a region of chromosome 20 associated with psoriasis (see 177900). The deduced 25.7-kD protein belongs to a family of RING domain E3 ubiquitin ligases characterized by 3 zinc fingers and a ubiquitin-interacting motif. Real-time PCR detected high ZNF313 expression in testis and much lower expression in all other tissues examined. ZNF313 was also expressed in skin, CD4 (186940)-positive T cells, and immature and mature dendritic cells.

GENE STRUCTURE

Capon et al. (2008) determined that the RNF114 gene contains 6 exons.

MAPPING

By genomic sequence analysis, Capon et al. (2008) mapped the RNF114 gene to chromosome 20q13.

GENE FUNCTION

Using a protein pull-down assay, Capon et al. (2008) showed that ZNF313 bound ubiquitin via its ubiquitin-interaction motif. Bijlmakers et al. (2011) noted that the RNF114 paralog RNF125 (610432) regulates the RIGI (DDX58; 609631)/MDA5 (IFIH1; 606951) innate antiviral response after double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) activation within the cytoplasm. This signaling cascade induces production of type I IFN (e.g., IFNB1; 147640) through activation of IRF3 (603734) and NFKB (see 164011) transcription factors. Bijlmakers et al. (2011) showed that human RNF114 associated with ubiquitinated proteins and that it was a soluble protein induced by IFNs and synthetic dsRNA. Overexpression of RNF114 enhanced NFKB and IRF3 reporter activity and increased type I and type III (IL29; 607403) IFN mRNA levels. Bijlmakers et al. (2011) concluded that RNF114 regulates a positive-feedback loop that enhances dsRNA-induced type I IFN production and that dysregulation of RIGI/MDA5 signaling leads to overproduction of type I IFN, an early mediator of epithelial inflammation.

MOLECULAR GENETICS

For discussion of a possible association between variation in the RNF114 gene and psoriasis, see PSORS12 (612950). Onoufriadis et al. (2012) analyzed the RNF114 gene in 485 psoriasis patients and 842 controls and identified 4 disease-associated variants in the RNF114 promoter, each of which was present in a single patient. electrophoretic mobility shift analysis showed that 2 of the variants, -41C-T and -64C-A, were associated with reduced SP1 (189906)-binding activity and reduced RNF114 gene expression. ...
