SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm

basic FUNCTION	ubiquitin ligase for SIN3B, promoting its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation (Kong 2010)
	can bind E2 and mediate auto-ubiquitination (Kong 2010)
	potentially novel role of RNF220 in Wnt-related tumorigenesis
	RNF220 and its cofactor ZC4H2 participate in ventral neural tube patterning by modulating Shh/Gli signaling
	ubiquitin E3 ligase RNF220 and its co-factor ZC4H2 are required for multiple neural developmental processes through different targets, including spinal cord patterning and the development of the cerebellum and the locus coeruleus
	having roles and mechanisms of action in signal transduction, vertebrate neural development, and related human disorders

small molecule	metal binding,
	ions Zn2+

protein	interacting specifically with SIN3B (Kong 2010)
	RNF220 physically interacts with CTNNB1, but instead of promoting its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, it stabilizes CTNNB1 and promotes canonical Wnt signaling
	RNF220 interacts with USP7, a ubiquitin-specific peptidase, which is required for RNF220 to stabilize CTNNB1
	RNF220 cooperates with ZC4H2 to specify spinal progenitor domains (
	RNF220 is an E3 ligase promoting the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of SIN3B, a chromatin-associated protein, which plays a vital role in chromatin condensation
	ZC4H2 is required for the stability of RNF220 and also proper Gli ubiquitination and signaling
	ZC4H2 and RNF220 are likely involved in the regulation of neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation through CEND1
	RNF220-mediated ubiquitination promotes aggresomal accumulation and autophagic degradation of cytoplasmic GLI via HDAC6

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Rnf220-null mice show widespread alterations of ventral progenitor domains, including the loss of the p2 domain that produces V2 interneurons
