Description: Homo sapiens HECT and RLD domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 4 (HERC4), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_022079): HERC4 belongs to the HERC family of ubiquitin ligases, all of which contain a HECT domain and at least 1 RCC1 (MIM 179710)-like domain (RLD). The 350-amino acid HECT domain is predicted to catalyze the formation of a thioester with ubiquitin before transferring it to a substrate, and the RLD is predicted to act as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for small G proteins (Hochrainer et al., 2005 [PubMed 15676274]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr10:69,681,656-69,835,103 Size: 153,448 Total Exon Count: 26 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr10:69,682,688-69,832,865 Size: 150,178 Coding Exon Count: 24
ID:HERC4_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase HERC4; EC=6.3.2.-; AltName: Full=HECT domain and RCC1-like domain-containing protein 4; FUNCTION: Probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in either protein trafficking or in the distribution of cellular structures. Required for spermatozoon maturation and fertility, and for the removal of the cytoplasmic droplet of the spermatozoon. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin- conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfer it to targeted substrates (By similarity). PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytosol. Note=shows a punctate cytoplasmic distribution. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain and testis and detected in heart and placenta. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed in fetal brain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 HECT (E6AP-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 7 RCC1 repeats. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAB13419.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally shortened;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
