  • is mainly localized in the cytoplasmic vesicles and plasma membrane
  • basic FUNCTION
  • RNF144A, an E3 ubiquitin ligase for DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), can promote DNA damage-induced cell apoptosis
  • RNF144A may be involved in TP53-mediated apoptosis through down-regulation of DNA-PKcs when cells suffer from persistent or severe DNA damage insults
  • RNF144A promotes EGFR ubiquitination, maintains EGFR protein, and prolongs EGF/EGFR signaling during EGF stimulation
  • functions as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer
  • role for RNF144A in suppression of breast cancer growth and metastasis, and RNF144A is likely the first E3 ubiquitin ligase for HSPA2 in human cancer
  • VRK3 protects cells by suppressing oxidative stress-induced ERK, and RNF144A sensitively regulates this process
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • ZDHHC18 and ZDHHC23 competitively interact with a BMI1 E3 ligase, RNF144A, to regulate the polyubiquitination and accumulation of BMI1
  • RNF144A interacted with and targeted HSPA2, a putative oncoprotein that is frequently upregulated in human cancer and promotes tumor growth and progression, for ubiquitination and degradation
  • under oxidative stress, VRK3 migrates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, which increases its chance of interacting with RNF144A, thereby promoting the degradation of VRK3
