PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	an N-terminal RING zinc finger
	two B box domains (one type 1 and one type 2)
	a coiled-coil domain (RBCC) so called tripartite motif (TRIM)
	a FIL (filamin-type immunoglobulin) domain
	a NHL domain

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	C-VII TRIM family
	B box family, RBCC (TRIM family)

CATEGORY

regulatory

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,intermed filament
text	filaments

basic FUNCTION	ubiquitin-protein ligase, involved in cancerogenesis and the defense against viral infection
	important function of TRIM2 for axon outgrowth during development
	RING (really interesting new gene) domain-containing protein
	role for TRIM2 in mediating the p42/p44 MAPK-dependent ubiquitination of BCL2L11 in rapid ischemic tolerance

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	ion Zn2+

protein	binds to neurofilament light subunit (NF-L) and regulates NF-L ubiquitination
	binds to BCL2L11 when it is phosphorylated by p42/p44 MAPK
