B-box-type 1 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 46 (TRIM46) and similar proteins; TRIM46, also known as gene Y protein (GeneY) or tripartite, fibronectin type-III and C-terminal SPRY motif protein (TRIFIC), is a microtubule-associated protein that specifically localizes to the proximal axon, partly overlaps with the axon initial segment (AIS) at later stages, and organizes uniform microtubule orientation in axons. It controls neuronal polarity and axon specification by driving the formation of parallel microtubule arrays. TRIM46 belongs to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins, which are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 1 B-box (Bbox1) zinc finger is characterized by a C6H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

coiled-coil (CC) domain of Drosophila brain tumor (brat) and similar proteins; This family contains the coiled-coil (CC) region of Drosophila brain tumor (Brat), a translational repressor that belongs to the tripartite motif (TRIM) protein superfamily. TRIM proteins play important roles in various cellular processes and are involved in many diseases which consists of two B-box domains and a coiled-coil (CC) domain at the N-terminal region, and an NHL domain at the C-terminus. Brat localizes at the basal cortex during asymmetric division of Drosophila neuroblasts by directly interacting with the scaffolding protein Miranda (Mira), which it does through the CC-NHL domain tandem, indicating that the function of the Brat CC domain is to assemble Brat-NHL in dimeric form which is necessary for Mira binding. Brat CC forms an elongated antiparallel dimer similar to its other TRIM protein counterparts, but the overall length of Brat CC dimer is shorter than the TRIMs.

PRY/SPRY domain in tripartite motif-containing protein 36 (TRIM36); This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of TRIM36, a Class I TRIM protein. TRIM36 (also known as Haprin or RNF98) has a ubiquitin ligase activity and interacts with centromere protein-H, one of the kinetochore proteins. It has been shown that TRIM36 is potentially associated with chromosome segregation and that an excess of TRIM36 may cause chromosomal instability. In Xenopus laevis, TRIM36 is expressed during early embryogenesis and plays an important role in the arrangement of somites during their formation.

PRY/SPRY domain in tripartite motif-containing proteins 1, 9, 18, 36, 46, 67,76 (TRIM1, TRIM9, TRIM18, TRIM36, TRIM46, TRIM67, TRIM76); This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of several Class I TRIM proteins, including TRIM1, TRIM9, TRIM18, TRIM36, TRIM46, TRIM67 and TRIM76. TRIM1 (also known as MID2) and its close homolog, TRIM18 (also known as MID1), both contain a B30.2-like domain at their C-terminus and a single fibronectin type III (FN3) motif between it and their N-terminal RBCC domain. Their coiled-coil motifs mediate both homo- and heterodimerization, a prerequisite for association of the rapamycin-sensitive PP2A regulatory subunit Alpha 4 with microtubules. Mutations in TRIM18 have shown to cause Opitz syndrome, a disorder causing congenital anomalies such as cleft lip and palate as well as heart defects. TRIM9 is expressed mainly in the cerebral cortex, and functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Its immunoreactivity is severely decreased in affected brain areas in Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, possibly playing an important role in the regulation of neuronal function and participating in pathological process of Lewy body disease through its ligase. TRIM36 interacts with centromere protein-H, one of the kinetochore proteins and possibly associates with chromosome segregation; an excess of TRIM36 may cause chromosomal instability. TRIM46 has not yet been characterized. TRIM67 negatively regulates Ras activity via degradation of 80K-H, leading to neural differentiation, including neuritogenesis. TRIM76 (also known as cardiomyopathy-associated protein 5 or CMYA5) is a muscle-specific member of the TRIM superfamily, but lacks the RING domain. It is possibly involved in protein kinase A signaling as well as vesicular trafficking. It has also been implicated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and cardiac disease. The PRY-SPRY domain in these TRIM families is suggested to serve as the target binding site.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 36 (TRIM36) and similar proteins; TRIM36, human ortholog of mouse Haprin, also known as RING finger protein 98 (RNF98) or zinc-binding protein Rbcc728, is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase expressed in the germ plasm. It has been implicated in acrosome reaction, fertilization, and embryogenesis, as well as in carcinogenesis. TRIM36 functions upstream of Wnt/beta-catenin activation, and plays a role in controlling the stability of proteins regulating microtubule polymerization during cortical rotation, and subsequently dorsal axis formation. It is also potentially associated with chromosome segregation through interacting with the kinetochore protein centromere protein-H (CENP-H), and colocalizing with the microtubule protein alpha-tubulin. Its overexpression may cause chromosomal instability and carcinogenesis. It is, thus, a novel regulator affecting cell cycle progression. Moreover, TRIM36 plays a critical role in the arrangement of somites during embryogenesis. TRIM36 belongs to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 44 (TRIM44) and similar proteins; TRIM44, also termed protein DIPB, functions as a critical regulator in tumor metastasis and progression. TRIM44 belongs to an unclassified TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that do not have RING fingers and thus lack the characteristic tripartite (RING (R), B-box, and coiled coil (CC)) RBCC motif. It contains a Bbox2 domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 1 zinc finger found in the midline (MID) family; The MID family includes MID1 and MID2. MID1, also known as midin, midline 1 RING finger protein, putative transcription factor XPRF, RING finger protein 59 (RNF59), or tripartite motif-containing protein 18 (TRIM18), is a microtubule-associated E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal differentiation, cell migration and adhesion, and programmed cell death along specific regions of the ventral midline during embryogenesis. MID2, also known as midin-2, midline defect 2, RING finger protein 60 (RNF60), or tripartite motif-containing protein 1 (TRIM1), is highly related to MID1. It associates with the microtubule network and may at least partially compensate for the loss of MID1. Both MID1 and MID2 interacts with alpha4, a regulatory subunit of PP2-type phosphatases, such as PP2A, and an integral component of the rapamycin-sensitive signaling pathway. They also play a central role in the regulation of granule exocytosis, and functional redundancy exists between MID1 and MID2 in cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL). Both MID1 and MID2 belong to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 1 B-box (Bbox1) zinc finger is characterized by a C6H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 8 (TRIM8) and similar proteins; TRIM8, also known as glioblastoma-expressed RING finger protein (GERP) or RING finger protein 27 (RNF27), is a probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that may promote proteasomal degradation of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and further regulate interferon-gamma signaling. It functions as a new p53 modulator that stabilizes p53, impairing its association with MDM2 and inducing the reduction of cell proliferation. TRIM8 deficit dramatically impairs p53 stabilization and activation in response to chemotherapeutic drugs. TRIM8 also modulates tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-triggered nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappa B) activation by targeting transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) activated kinase 1 (TAK1) for K63-linked polyubiquitination. Moreover, TRIM8 modulates translocation of phosphorylated STAT3 into the nucleus through interaction with Hsp90beta and consequently regulates transcription of Nanog in embryonic stem cells. It also interacts with protein inhibitor of activated STAT3 (PIAS3), which inhibits IL-6-dependent activation of STAT3. TRIM8 belongs to the C-V subclass of nuclear TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil domain, as well as an uncharacterized region positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The coiled coil domain is required for homodimerization and the region immediately C-terminal to the RING motif is sufficient to mediate the interaction with SOCS1. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 37 (TRIM37) and similar proteins; TRIM37, also known as Mulibrey nanism protein, is a peroxisomal E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is involved in the tumorigenesis of several cancer types, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), breast cancer, and sporadic fibrothecoma. It mono-ubiquitinates histone H2A, a chromatin modification associated with transcriptional repression. Moreover, TRIM37 possesses anti-HIV-1 activity, and interferes with viral DNA synthesis. Mutations in the human TRIM37 gene (also known as MUL) cause Mulibrey (muscle-liver-brain-eye) nanism, a rare growth disorder of prenatal onset characterized by dysmorphic features, pericardial constriction, and hepatomegaly. TRIM37 belongs to the C-VIII subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a MATH (meprin and TRAF-C homology) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. Its MATH domain has been shown to interact with the TRAF (TNF-Receptor-Associated Factor) domain of six known TRAFs in vitro. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor O (GefO) and similar proteins; Ras guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (RasGEFs) activate Ras by catalyzing the replacement of GDP with GTP, and thus lie near the top of many signaling pathways. They are important for signaling in development and chemotaxis in many organisms. Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor O (GefO), also known as RasGEF domain-containing protein O, is faintly expressed during development of Dictyostelium discoideum. It contains a C3HC4-type RING finger, a B-box motif that shows high sequence similarity with B-Box-type zinc finger 2 found in tripartite motif-containing proteins (TRIMs), a REM (Ras exchanger motif) domain, and a # RasGEF domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

PRY/SPRY domain in tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) proteins, including TRIM5, TRIM6, TRIM7, TRIM10, TRIM11, TRIM17, TRIM20, TRIM21, TRIM27, TRIM35, TRIM38, TRIM41, TRIM50, TRIM58, TRIM60, TRIM62, TRIM69, TRIM72, NF7 and bloodthirsty; This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of several Class IV TRIM proteins, including TRIM7, TRIM35, TRIM41, TRIM50, TRIM62, TRIM69, TRIM72, TRIM protein NF7 and bloodthirsty (bty). TRIM7 interacts with glycogenin and stimulates its self-glucosylating activity via its SPRY domain. TRIM35 may play a role as a tumor suppressor and is implicated in the cell death mechanism. TRIM41 is localized to speckles in the cytoplasm and nucleus, and functions as an E3 ligase that catalyzes the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of protein kinase C. TRIM50, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is deleted in Williams-Beuren (WBS) syndrome, a multi-system neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at chromosome region 7q11.23. TRIM62 is involved in the morphogenesis of the mammary gland; loss of TRIM62 gene expression in breast is associated with increased risk of recurrence in early-onset breast cancer. TRIM69 is a novel testis E3 ubiquitin ligase that may function to ubiquitinate its particular substrates during spermatogenesis. In humans, TRIM69 localizes in the cytoplasm and nucleus, and requires an intact RING finger domain to function. TRIM protein NF7, which also contains a chromodomain (CHD) at the N-terminus and an RFP (Ret finger protein)-like domain at the C-terminus, is required for its association with transcriptional units of RNA polymerase II which is mediated by a trimeric B box. In Xenopus oocyte, xNF7 has been identified as a nuclear microtubule-associated protein (MAP) whose microtubule-bundling activity, but not E3-ligase activity, contributes to microtubule organization and spindle integrity. Bloodthirsty (bty) is a novel gene identified in zebrafish and has been shown to likely play a role in in regulation of the terminal steps of erythropoiesis. TRIM72 has been shown to perform a critical function in membrane repair following acute muscle injury by nucleating the assembly of the repair machinery at injury sites. The PRY-SPRY domain in these TRIM families is suggested to serve as the target binding site.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing proteins, TRIM16, TRIM29, TRIM47 and similar proteins; This family includes a group of tripartite motif-containing proteins, such as TRIM16, TRIM29 and TRIM47. TRIM16, also termed estrogen-responsive B box protein (EBBP), is a regulator that may play a role in the regulation of keratinocyte differentiation. It may also act as a tumor suppressor through affecting cell proliferation and migration or tumorigenicity in carcinogenesis. TRIM29, also termed ataxia telangiectasia group D-associated protein (ATDC), plays a crucial role in the regulation of macrophage activation in response to viral or bacterial infections within the respiratory tract. TRIM47, also known as gene overexpressed in astrocytoma protein (GOA) or RING finger protein 100 (RNF100), plays an important role in the process of dedifferentiation that is associated with astrocytoma tumorigenesis. TRIM16 and TRIM29 belong to an unclassified TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that do not have RING fingers and thus lack the characteristic tripartite (RING (R), B-box, and coiled coil (CC)) RBCC motif. TRIM47 belongs to the C-IV subclass of TRIM family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and two coiled coil domains, as well as a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing proteins, TRIM4, TRIM17, TRIM41, TRIM52 and similar proteins; This family includes a group of tripartite motif-containing proteins, including TRIM4, TRIM17, TRIM41 and TRIM52. TRIM4, also known as RING finger protein 87 (RNF87), is a cytoplasmic E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that recently evolved and is present only in higher mammals. It transiently interacts with mitochondria, induces mitochondrial aggregation and sensitizes the cells to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced death. Its interaction with peroxiredoxin 1 (PRX1) is critical for the regulation of H2O2 induced cell death. Moreover, TRIM4 functions as a positive regulator of RIG-I-mediated type I interferon induction. It regulates the K63-linked ubiquitination of RIG-1 and assembly of antiviral signaling complex at mitochondria. TRIM17, also known as RING finger protein 16 (RNF16) or testis RING finger protein (Terf), is a crucial E3 ubiquitin ligase that is necessary and sufficient for neuronal apoptosis and contributes to Mcl-1 ubiquitination in cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). It interacts in a SUMO-dependent manner with nuclear factor of activated T cell NFATc3 transcription factor, and thus inhibits the activity of NFATc3 by preventing its nuclear localization. In contrast, it binds to and inhibits NFATc4 transcription factor in a SUMO-independent manner. Moreover, TRIM17 stimulates degradation of kinetochore protein ZW10 interacting protein (ZWINT), a known component of the kinetochore complex required for mitotic spindle checkpoint, and negatively regulates cell proliferation. TRIM41, also known as RING finger-interacting protein with C kinase (RINCK), is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that promotes the ubiquitination of protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes in cells. It specifically recognizes the C1 domain of PKC isozymes. It controls the amplitude of PKC signaling by controlling the amount of PKC in the cell. TRIM52, also known as RING finger protein 102 (RNF102), is encoded by a novel, noncanonical antiviral TRIM52 gene in primate genomes with unique specificity determined by the rapidly evolving RING domain. TRIM4, TRIM17 and TRIM41 belong to the C-IV subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. In contrast, TRIM52 lacks the putative viral recognition SPRY/B30.2 domain, and thus has been classified to the C-V subclass of TRIM family that contains only RBCC domains. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 1 zinc finger found in midline-2 (MID2) and similar proteins; MID2, also known as midin-2, midline defect 2, RING finger protein 60 (RNF60), or tripartite motif-containing protein 1 (TRIM1), is a probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is highly related to MID1, which associates with cytoplasmic microtubules along their length and throughout the cell cycle. Like MID1, MID2 associates with the microtubule network and may at least partially compensate for the loss of MID1. Both MID1 and MID2 interacts with alpha4, a regulatory subunit of PP2-type phosphatases, such as PP2A, and an integral component of the rapamycin-sensitive signaling pathway. MID2 can also substitute for MID1 to control exocytosis of lytic granules in cytotoxic T cells. Loss-of-function mutations in MID2 lead to human X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). MID2 belongs to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxy-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 1 B-box (Bbox1) zinc finger is characterized by a C6H2 zinc-binding consensus motif. MID2 heterodimerizes in vitro with its paralog MID1.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in muscle-specific RING finger protein 3 (MuRF-3) and similar proteins; MuRF-3, also known as tripartite motif-containing protein 54 (TRIM54), or RING finger protein 30 (RNF30), is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase in ubiquitin-mediated muscle protein turnover. It is ubiquitously detected in all fibre types, and is developmentally upregulated, associates with microtubules, the sarcomeric M-line and Z-line, and is required for microtubule stability and myogenesis. It associates with glutamylated microtubules during skeletal muscle development, and is required for skeletal myoblast differentiation and development of cellular microtubular networks. MuRF-3 controls the degradation of four-and-a-half LIM domain (FHL2) and gamma-filamin and is required for maintenance of ventricular integrity after myocardial infarction (MI). MuRF-3 belongs to the C-II subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, and an acidic residue-rich (AR) domain. It also harbors a MURF family-specific conserved box (MFC) between its RING-HC finger and Bbox domains. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

Mutations in the human MID1 gene result in X-linked Opitz G/BBB syndrome (OS), a disorder affecting development of midline structures, causing craniofacial, urogenital, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular abnormalities. A unique MID1 gene mutation located in a variable loop in the SPRY domain alters conformation of the binding pocket and may affect the binding affinity to the PRY/SPRY domain.

PRY/SPRY domain in tripartite motif-binding protein 7 (TRIM7)-like, including TRIM7, TRIM10, TRIM15, TRIM26, TRIM39, TRIM41; This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of several tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) proteins, including TRIM7 (also referred to as glycogenin-interacting protein, RING finger protein 90 or RNF90), TRIM10, TRIM15, TRIM26, TRIM39 and TRIM41. TRIM7 or GNIP interacts with glycogenin and stimulates its self-glucosylating activity via its SPRY domain. TRIM10 (also known as hematopoietic RING finger 1 (HERF1) or TRIM10/HERF1) plays a key role in definitive erythroid development; downregulation of the Spi-1/PU.1 oncogene induces the expression of TRIM10/HERF1, a key factor required for terminal erythroid cell differentiation and survival. Antiviral activity of TRIM15 is dependent on the ability of its B-box to interact with the MLV Gag precursor protein; downregulation of TRIM15, along with TRIM11, enhances virus release suggesting that these proteins contribute to the endogenous restriction of retroviruses in cells. Tripartite motif-containing 26 (TRIM26) function is as yet unknown; however, since it is localized in the human histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region, TRIM26 may play a role in immune response although studies show no association between TRIM26 polymorphisms and the risk of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease. TRIM39 is a MOAP-1 (Modulator of Apoptosis)-binding protein that stabilizes MOAP-1 through inhibition of its poly-ubiquitination process. TRIM41 (also known as RING finger-interacting protein with C kinase or RINCK) functions as an E3 ligase that catalyzes the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of protein kinase C.

B-box-type 1 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 9 (TRIM9) and similar proteins; TRIM9 (the human ortholog of rat Spring), also termed RING finger protein 91 (RNF91), is a brain-specific E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase collaborating with an E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBCH5b. TRIM9 plays an important role in the regulation of neuronal functions and participates in neurodegenerative disorders through its ligase activity. It interacts with the WD repeat region of beta-transducer repeat-containing protein (beta-TCP) through its N-terminal degron motif depending on the phosphorylation status, and thus negatively regulate nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation in the NF-kappaB pro-inflammatory signaling pathway. Moreover, TRIM9 acts as a critical catalytic link between Netrin-1 and exocytosis soluble NSF attachment receptor protein (SNARE) machinery in murine cortical neurons. It promotes SNARE-mediated vesicle fusion and axon branching in a Netrin-dependent manner. TRIM9 belongs to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, the fibronectin type III domain and the SPRY/B30.2 domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 1 B-box (Bbox1) zinc finger is characterized by a C6H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in muscle-specific RING finger protein (MuRF) family; This family corresponds to a group of striated muscle-specific tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins, including TRIM63/MuRF-1, TRIM55/MuRF-2, and TRIM54/MuRF-3, which function as E3 ubiquitin ligases in ubiquitin-mediated muscle protein turnover. They are tightly developmentally regulated in skeletal muscle and associate with different cytoskeleton components, such as microtubules, Z-disks and M-bands, as well as with metabolic enzymes and nuclear proteins. They also cooperate with diverse proteins implicated in selective protein degradation by the proteasome and autophagosome, and target proteins of metabolic regulation, sarcomere assembly and transcriptional regulation. Moreover, MURFs display variable fibre-type preferences. TRIM63/MuRF-1 is predominantly fast (type II) fibre-associated in skeletal muscle. TRIM55/MuRF-2 is predominantly slow-fibre associated. TRIM54/MuRF-3 is ubiquitously present. They play an active role in microtubule-mediated sarcomere assembly. MuRFs belong to the C-II subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, and an acidic residue-rich (AR) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. They also harbor a MURF family-specific conserved box (MFC) between its RING-HC finger and Bbox domains. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 35 (TRIM35) and similar proteins; TRIM35, also known as hemopoietic lineage switch protein 5 (HLS5), is a putative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) suppressor that inhibits phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (PKM2), which is involved in aerobic glycolysis of cancer cells and further suppresses the Warburg effect and tumorigenicity in HCC. It also negatively regulates Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)- and TLR9-mediated type I interferon production by suppressing the stability of interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7). Moreover, TRIM35 regulates erythroid differentiation by modulating globin transcription factor 1 (GATA-1) activity. TRIM35 belongs to the C-IV subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing proteins, TRIM10, TRIM15, TRIM26, TRIM31 and similar proteins; This family includes TRIM10, TRIM15, TRIM26 and TRIM31. TRIM10, also known as B30-RING finger protein (RFB30), RING finger protein 9 (RNF9), or hematopoietic RING finger 1 (HERF1), is a novel hematopoiesis-specific RING finger protein required for terminal differentiation of erythroid cells. TRIM15, also termed RING finger protein 93 (RNF93), or zinc finger protein 178 (ZNF178), or zinc finger protein B7 (ZNFB7), is a focal adhesion protein that regulates focal adhesion disassembly. It localizes to focal contacts in a myosin-II-independent manner by an interaction between its coiled-coil domain and the LD2 motif of paxillin. TRIM15 can also associate with coronin 1B, cortactin, filamin binding LIM protein1, and vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, which are involved in actin cytoskeleton dynamics. As an additional component of the integrin adhesome, it regulates focal adhesion turnover and cell migration. TRIM26, also known as acid finger protein (AFP), RING finger protein 95 (RNF95), or zinc finger protein 173 (ZNF173), is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that negatively regulates interferon-beta production and antiviral response through polyubiquitination and degradation of nuclear transcription factor IRF3. It functions as an important regulator for RNA virus-triggered innate immune response by bridging TBK1 to NEMO (NF-kappaB essential modulator, also known as IKKgamma) and mediating TBK1 activation. It also acts as a novel tumor suppressor of hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating cancer cell proliferation, colony forming ability, migration, and invasion. TRIM31 is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that primarily localizes to the cytoplasm, but is also associated with the mitochondria. It can negatively regulate cell proliferation and may be a potential biomarker of gastric cancer as it is overexpressed from the early stage of gastric carcinogenesis. TRIM31 is downregulated in non-small cell lung cancer and serves as a potential tumor suppressor. It interacts with p52 (Shc) and inhibits Src-induced anchorage-independent growth. TRIM10, TRIM15 and TRIM26 belong to the C-IV subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. TRIM31 belongs to the C-V subclass of TRIM family of proteins. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in midline-2 (MID2) and similar proteins; MID2, also known as midin-2, midline defect 2, RING finger protein 60 (RNF60), or tripartite motif-containing protein 1 (TRIM1), is a probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is highly related to MID1 that associate with cytoplasmic microtubules along their length and throughout the cell cycle. Like MID1, MID2 associates with the microtubule network and may at least partially compensate for the loss of MID1. Both MID1 and MID2 interacts with Alpha 4, which is a regulatory subunit of PP2-type phosphatases, such as PP2A, and an integral component of the rapamycin-sensitive signaling pathway. MID2 can also substitute for MID1 to control exocytosis of lytic granules in cytotoxic T cells. It heterodimerizes in vitro with its paralog MID1. Loss-of-function mutations in MID2 lead to the human X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). MID2 belongs to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxy-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

PRY/SPRY domain of tripartite motif-binding protein 60 (TRIM60) also known as RING finger protein 33 (RNF33); This domain, consisting of the distinct N-terminal PRY subdomain followed by the SPRY subdomain, is found at the C-terminus of TRIM60, which is also known as RING finger protein 33 (RNF33) or 129 (RNF129). TRIM60 domains are composed of RING/B-box/coiled-coil core and also known as RBCC proteins. Based on its expression profile, RNF33 likely plays an important role in the spermatogenesis process, the development of the pre-implantation embryo, and in testicular functions; Rnf33 is temporally transcribed in the unfertilized egg and the pre-implantation embryo, and is permanently silenced before the blastocyst stage. Mice experiments have shown that RNF33 associates with the cytoplasmic motor proteins, kinesin-2 family members 3A (KIF3A) and 3B (KIF3B), suggesting possible contribution to cargo movement along the microtubule in the expressed sites.

Fibronectin type III and SPRY containing 1 (FSD1) domain includes PRY at the N-terminus; This domain is part of the fibronectin type III and SPRY domain containing 1 (FSD1) and FSD1-like (FSD1L) proteins. These are centrosome-associated proteins that are characterized by an N-terminal coiled-coil region downstream of B-box (BBC) domain, a central fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and C-terminal repeats in PRY/SPRY domain. The FSD1 protein associates with a subset of microtubules and may be involved in the stability and organization of microtubules during cytokinesis.

second B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 23 (TRIM23) and similar proteins; TRIM23, also known as ADP-ribosylation factor domain-containing protein 1, GTP-binding protein ARD-1, or RING finger protein 46 (RNF46), is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase belonging to the C-IX subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by an N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, two Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as C-terminal ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) domains. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif. TRIM23 is involved in nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activation. It mediates atypical lysine 27 (K27)-linked polyubiquitin conjugation to NF-kappaB essential modulator NEMO, also known as IKKgamma, which plays an important role in the NF-kappaB pathway, and this conjugation is essential for TLR3- and RIG-I/MDA5-mediated antiviral innate and inflammatory responses. It also regulates adipocyte differentiation via stabilization of the adipogenic activator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) through atypical ubiquitin conjugation to PPARgamma. Moreover, TRIM23 interacts with and polyubiquitinates yellow fever virus (YFV) NS5 to promote its binding to STAT2 and trigger type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling inhibition.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 66 (TRIM66) and similar proteins; TRIM66, also termed transcriptional intermediary factor 1 delta (TIF1delta), is a novel heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1)-interacting member of the transcriptional intermediary factor 1 (TIF1) family expressed by elongating spermatids. Like other TIF1 proteins, TRIM66 displays a potent trichostatin A (TSA)-sensitive repression function; TSA is a specific inhibitor of histone deacetylases. Moreover, TRIM66 plays an important role in heterochromatin-mediated gene silencing during postmeiotic phases of spermatogenesis. It functions as a negative regulator of postmeiotic genes acting through HP1 isotype gamma (HP1gamma) complex formation and centromere association. TRIM66 belongs to an unclassified TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that do not have RING fingers and thus lack the characteristic tripartite (RING (R), B-box, and coiled coil (CC)) RBCC motif. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.
