RING finger, H2 subclass, found in zinc/RING finger protein 3 (ZNRF3) and similar proteins
ZNRF3, also known as RING finger protein 203 (RNF203), is a homolog of Ring finger protein 43 (RNF43). It is a transmembrane E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is associated with the Wnt receptor complex, and negatively regulates Wnt signaling by promoting the turnover of frizzled and lipoprotein receptor-related protein LRP6 in an R-spondin-sensitive manner. It inhibits gastric cancer cell growth and promotes cell apoptosis by affecting the Wnt/beta-catenin/TCF signaling pathway. ZNRF3 contains an N-terminal signal peptide, a protease-associated (PA) domain, a transmembrane (TM) domain and a C3H2C3-type RING-H2 finger followed by a long C-terminal region.
Comment:based on the structures of other RING-H2 fingers with bound zinc
Comment:C3H2C3-type RING-H2 finger consensus motif: C-X2-C-X(9-39)-C-X(1-3)-H-X(2-3)-H-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.
