RING finger, HC subclass, found in Schizosaccharomyces pombe DNA repair protein Rad8 (SpRad8) and similar proteins
SpRad8 is a conserved protein homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA repair protein Rad5 and human helicase-like transcription factor (HLTF) that is required for error-free postreplication repair by contributing to polyubiquitylation of PCNA. SpRad8 contains a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger responsible for the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, a SNF2-family helicase domain including an ATP binding site, and a family-specific HIRAN domain (HIP116, Rad5p N-terminal domain) that contributes to nuclear localization.
Comment:C3HC4-type RING-HC finger consensus motif: C-X2-C-X(9-39)-C-X(1-3)-H-X(2-3)-C-X2-C-X(4-48)-C-X2-C, where X is any amino acid and the number of X residues varies in different fingers
Comment:A RING finger typically binds two zinc atoms, with its Cys and/or His side chains in a unique "cross-brace" arrangement.
