PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a RING zinc finger, RING domain required for its E3 Ub ligase activity
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to murine Ring1
    homolog to Drosophila Ring
    homolog to C.elegans K01A2.7
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • polycomb group (PcG) family
  • RING finger family
  • CATEGORY DNA associated , transcription factor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome
    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a transcriptional repressor
  • involved in maintaining the transcriptionnally repressive state of genes
  • modifing chromatin and rendering it heritably changed in its expressibility
  • critical role for BMI1 and RING1 in H2A ubiquitylation and HOX gene silencing
  • expanded regulatory role for RING1, RNF2 proteins in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression
  • crucial role for RING1-dependent repression of MEIS2 and likely also MEIS1 for distal specification
  • RING1 is deregulated in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and plays a role in the erythroid development defect
  • is an E3-ubiquitin ligase that is involved in epigenetic control of transcription during development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, chromatin organization, remodeling
    nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text transcriptional repressor
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • associating and colocalizing with the multimeric chromatin-associated polycomb (PcG) group protein complex
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
    zinc Zn2+
    protein
  • binding to SSX1 and SSX2
  • during transdifferentiation, innate immune activation increases NOS2 generation of NO to S-nitrosylate RING1, a key member of the polycomb repressive complex
  • binding to polycomb group proteins BMI1, EDR1, CBX4
  • during transdifferentiation, innate immune activation increases NOS2 generation of NO to S-nitrosylate RING1, a key member of the polycomb repressive complex
  • RING1 interacted with BSG through the transmembrane domain (RING1 inhibits BSG capability promoting melanoma cell migration)
  • RING1 acts as an E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase to directly interact with and ubiquitinate TP53, resulting in its proteasome-dependent degradation
