cd16511: vRING-HC_IRF2BP1_like (this model, PSSM-Id:319425 is obsolete and has been replaced by 438174)
variant of RING finger, HC subclass, found in interferon regulatory factor 2-binding protein IRF-2BP1, IRF-2BP2, and similar proteins
The family includes IRF-2BP1, IRF-2BP2, and their homolog, IRF-2BP-like, also known as IRF-2BPL or C14orf4. IRF-2BP1 and IRF-2BP2 are nuclear proteins that bind to the C-terminal repression domain of IRF-2 and act as an IRF-2-dependent transcriptional corepressors, both enhancer-activated and basal transcription. IRF-2BPL is expressed in the mediobasal hypothalamus and plays a critical function in regulating the female reproductive neuroendocrine axis. All family members contain a C-terminal C3HC4-type RING-HC finger with a partially new pattern.
