PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • missing the RING finger domain
  • B box domain type 1 and type 2
  • a coiled-coil domain (RBCC) so called tripartite motif (TRIM), required for TRIM16 and E2F1 interaction
  • two zinc binding domains
  • RFP-like domain, an important protein-binding domain
  • a C-terminal Ret finger, or B30.2 (SPRY), domain of unknown function
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • RING-B box-coiled-coil/TRIM protein family
  • CATEGORY regulatory

    text
  • predominantly cytoplasmic localization
  • predominantly found in the cytoplasm and to a lesser extent in the nucleus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in the regulation of keratinocyte differentiation
  • has histone acetyltransferase activity, which is required for the retinoid-induced retinoic acid (RA) receptor beta2 transcriptional response and growth inhibition in retinoid-treated cancer cells
  • role in innate immunity by enhancing the alternative secretion pathway of IL1B
  • reduced cell motility and this required downregulation of vimentin
  • acts as a tumour suppressor, affecting neuritic differentiation, cell migration and replication through interactions with cytoplasmic vimentin and nuclear E2F1 in neuroblastoma cells

    agents that increase the cytoplasmic and/or nuclear levels of TRIM16 might be expected to inhibit cell migration and replication, respectively, and, moreover, enhance the anticancer effects of differentiation therapies, such as retinoids
