Structural highlights
DiseaseRN216_HUMAN Cerebellar ataxia-hypogonadism syndrome. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. FunctionRN216_HUMAN E3 ubiquitin ligase which accepts ubiquitin from specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, and then transfers it to substrates promoting their ubiquitination (PubMed:34998453). Plays a role in the regulation of antiviral responses by promoting the degradation of TRAF3, TLR4 and TLR9 (PubMed:15107846, PubMed:19893624). In turn, down-regulates NF-kappa-B and IRF3 activation as well as beta interferon production. Participates also in the regulation of autophagy by ubiquitinating BECN1 leading to its degradation and autophagy inhibition (PubMed:25484083). Plays a role in ARC-dependent synaptic plasticity by mediating ARC ubiquitination resulting in its rapid proteasomal degradation (PubMed:24945773). Plays aso an essential role in spermatogenesis and male fertility (By similarity). Mechanistically, regulates meiosis by promoting the degradation of PRKACB through the ubiquitin-mediated lysosome pathway (By similarity). Modulates the gonadotropin-releasing hormone signal pathway by affecting the stability of STAU2 that is required for the microtubule-dependent transport of neuronal RNA from the cell body to the dendrite (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P58283][1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Inhibits TNF and IL-1 mediated activation of NF-kappa-B. Promotes TNF and RIP mediated apoptosis.[6] Publication Abstract from PubMedAn increasing number of genetic diseases are linked to deregulation of E3 ubiquitin ligases. Loss-of-function mutations in the RING-between-RING (RBR) family E3 ligase RNF216 (TRIAD3) cause Gordon-Holmes syndrome (GHS) and related neurodegenerative diseases. Functionally, RNF216 assembles K63-linked ubiquitin chains and has been implicated in regulation of innate immunity signaling pathways and synaptic plasticity. Here, we report crystal structures of key RNF216 reaction states including RNF216 in complex with ubiquitin and its reaction product, K63 di-ubiquitin. Our data provide a molecular explanation for chain-type specificity and reveal the molecular basis for disruption of RNF216 function by pathogenic GHS mutations. Furthermore, we demonstrate how RNF216 activity and chain-type specificity are regulated by phosphorylation and that RNF216 is allosterically activated by K63-linked di-ubiquitin. These molecular insights expand our understanding of RNF216 function and its role in disease and further define the mechanistic diversity of the RBR E3 ligase family.
