    basic FUNCTION
  • E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that interacts with the Toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain of TLRs and promotes their proteolytic degradation (Fearns 2006)
  • versatile E3 ubiquitin ligase that negatively regulates RIG-like receptor signaling by targeting TRAF3 for degradation following RNA virus infection (Nakhaei 2009)
  • appear to be involved in the movement of TLR4 to the lysosome for degradation (McGettrick 2010)
  • RNF216 is a key negative regulator of sustained KIR2DL4-mediated NFKB1 signaling from internalized KIR2DL4, which functions by promoting ubiquitylation and degradation of endocytosed receptor from early endosomes
  • RNF216 promoted Colorectal cancer cell proliferation and migration by negatively regulating BECN1-dependent autophagy
  • is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that recognizes and facilitates the ubiquitination of its target for degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS)
  • essential function of RNF216 in spermatogenesis and male fertility, suggesting a critical role for RNF216 in human gonadal development
  • RNF216 regulates the migration of GNRH1 neuron by suppressing BECN1 mediated autophagy, suggesting a potential contribution of autophagy to the hypogonadotropic hypogonadism

  • E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase to RIPK1 and Hsp90 and RNF216 cooperatively maintain the homeostasis of RIPK1 (Fearns 2006)
  • RNF216 is an interaction partner for the KIR2DL4 cytoplasmic domain
  • RNF216 interacts with BECN1, a key regulator in autophagy, and leads to ubiquitination of BECN1, thereby contributing to BECN1 degradation
  • TLR8 proteasomal disposal through RNF216 in response RNA ligands regulate TLR8 cellular concentrations and may have implications innate immune signaling
