Primary Identifier | IPR035828 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | PRY/SPRY_TRIM6 |
description | This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C terminus of TRIM6, also known as RING finger protein 89 (RNF89). TRIM proteins are defined by the presence of the tripartite motif RING/B-box/coiled-coil region and also known as RBCC proteins []. It is selectively expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells and interacts with the proto-oncogene product Myc, maintaining the pluripotency of the ES cells []. TRIM6, together with E2 Ubiquitin conjugase (UbE2K) and K48-linked poly-Ub chains, is critical for the IkappaB kinase epsilon (IKKepsilon) branch of type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling pathway and subsequent establishment of a protective antiviral response []. |
