Does this have a familiar RING?
Trends in biochemical sciences, 1996•cell.com
The RING finger is a zinc-binding domain that is found in proteins from plants to humans, but
whose function remains largely enigmatic. The domain itself is distinct from other zinc-finger
motifs in terms of sequence homology, zinc-ligation scheme and three-dimensional
structure. It appears that the RING is involved in mediating protein-protein interactions and in
some cases multi-protein complexes, which might depend on the presence of other proteins
and/or domains.
