Modified RING finger, HC subclass (C3HC3D-type), found in SR-related and CTD-associated factor 11 (SCAF11) and similar proteins
SCAF11, also known as CTD-associated SR protein 11 (CASP11), renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-40, SC35-interacting protein 1 (Sip1), Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2)-interacting protein, or splicing regulatory protein 129 (SRrp129), is a novel arginine-serine-rich (RS) domain-containing protein essential for pre-mRNA splicing. It functions as an auxiliary splice factor interacting with the spliceosomal component SC35, promoting RNAPII elongation. In addition to SR proteins, such as SC35, ASF/SF2, SRp75, and SRp20, SCAF11 also associates with U1-70K and U2AF65, proteins associated with 5' and 3' splice sites, respectively. SCAF11 contains an N-terminal modified C3HC3D-type RING-HC finger, an internal serine-arginine rich domain (SR domain), and a C-terminal SRI domain.
Comment:consensus of the typical C3HC4-type RING-HC finger: C-X2-C-X(9-39)-C-X(1-3)-H-X(2-3)-C-X2-C-X(4-48)-C-X2-C, 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.
