Human Gene RLIM (uc004ebw.3)
  Description: Homo sapiens ring finger protein, LIM domain interacting (RLIM), transcript variant 1, mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_016120): The protein encoded by this gene is a RING-H2 zinc finger protein. It has been shown to be an E3 ubiquitin protein ligase that targets LIM domain binding 1 (LDB1/CLIM), and causes proteasome-dependent degradation of LDB1. This protein and LDB1 are co-repressors of LHX1/LIM-1, a homeodomain transcription factor. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009].

  ID: RNF12_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RLIM; EC=6.3.2.-; AltName: Full=LIM domain-interacting RING finger protein; AltName: Full=RING finger LIM domain-binding protein; Short=R-LIM; AltName: Full=RING finger protein 12; AltName: Full=Renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-43;
FUNCTION: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Acts as a negative coregulator for LIM homeodomain transcription factors by mediating the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of LIM cofactors LDB1 and LDB2 and by mediating the recruitment the SIN3a/histone deacetylase corepressor complex. Ubiquitination and degradation of LIM cofactors LDB1 and LDB2 allows DNA-bound LIM homeodomain transcription factors to interact with other protein partners such as RLIM. Plays a role in telomere length-mediated growth suppression by mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of TERF1. By targeting ZFP42 for degradation, acts as an activator of random inactivation of X chromosome in the embryo, a stochastic process in which one X chromosome is inactivated to minimize sex- related dosage differences of X-encoded genes in somatic cells of female placental mammals.
PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with LIM/homeobox factors such as LHX3. Interacts with LDB1, LDB2 and SIN3A (By similarity). Interacts with LIMK1 (By similarity). Interacts (via N-terminus) with TERF1. Interacts (via C-terminus) with ESR1.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in many tissues.
MISCELLANEOUS: Acts as a positive coregulator of ESR1-mediated transcription in breast cancer cells.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RNF12 family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAD42875.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=134, 142;

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.
