Disease relevance of RNF40

 

High impact information on RNF40

  • RNF40 functions together with RNF20, where both are essential for histone H2B monoubiquitination [2] [3].
  • RNF20 and RNF40 form a complex with Rad6A/UBE2A to control histone H2B monoubiquitination [3].
  • RH mapping results showed that RBP95 is mapped to chromosome region 16p11.2-11 [1].
  • RBP95 was located in the nucleus with a special pattern when expressed as a GFP fusion in HeLa cells [1].
  • All these findings suggested that RBP95, a new member of Rb1-associated protein, may function as a regulation factor in the process of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription and/or transcriptional processing [1].
  • RNF40 is a RING finger ubiquitin ligase that complexes with RNF20 [4] [5].
  • RNF40 and RNF20 regulation the expression of Hox genes as well as autoinduction of the retinoic acid receptor gene [4] [5].
  • RNF40 and RNF20 appear to be the functional orthologues of the yeast H2B ubiquitin ligase Bre1.
  • RNF40 and RNF20 are required for homologous recombination DNA repair [6] [7] [8].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of RNF40

  • 1. Sequence analysis indicated that RBP95 contains a conserved Rb1-binding motif LXCXE [1]. An LXCXE sequence is also found in the mouse Rnf40 protein but is not present in either mouse or human RNF20 proteins.
