    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as an ubiquitin ligase
  • RNF135 is a novel factor of the DDX58 pathway involved in the evoking of human innate immunity against RNA virus infection, and activates DDX58 through ubiquitination of its C-terminal region
  • is an E3 ubiquitin ligase of DDX58 and specifically stimulates DDX58-mediated innate antiviral activity.
  • is essential for regulating DDX58-mediated innate immune response against RNA virus infection
  • involvement of RNF135 and ADAP2 in the increased risk of malignancy observed in NF1-microdeleted patients
  • biological effects of RNF135 in glioblastoma cell proliferation, migration and cell cycle, and its role in the progression of glioblastoma may be associated with the ERK signal transduction pathway
  • essential E3 ligase in antiviral immunity, that promotes the antiviral signaling activity of the viral RNA receptor DDX58 through both Ub-dependent and -independent manners
  • RNF135 functions as a tumor suppressor and is involved in tumor immune microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma
  • mediates retinoic acid-inducible gene-I polyubiquitination and is essential for viral-induced expression of type I IFNs in dendritic cells and macrophages
  • function of RNF135 in T cells, which is to suppress the antitumor immune response through modulating Th1 and CTLs
    • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, degradation

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Zn2+
    • protein
  • interacting with DDX58
  • RNF135 was dispensable for DDX58 RNA binding activity but required for TRIM25 to activate DDX58
    • N-terminal RING finger domain, a central coiled-coil domain, and a C-terminal P/SPRY domain
  • play a central role in the activation of the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (DDX58), and is a novel ZAP cofactor
  • interacts with ZAP via its P/SPRY domain and the ubiquitin ligase activity of RNF135 is not required to stimulate ZAP-mediated virus inhibition
