Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** RNF2 is a member of the RING (Ring Finger) family of proteins, characterized by the presence of a RING domain, a conserved structural motif that facilitates protein-protein interactions and E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. This domain is crucial for RNF2's ability to recognize and target specific substrates for ubiquitination, a post-translational modification that regulates protein activity and stability. RNF2's ubiquitin ligase activity is highly specific, allowing it to distinguish between different protein substrates and regulate their functions accordingly. **Pathways and Functions:** RNF2 is involved in various cellular pathways, including: 1. **Chromatin Regulation:** RNF2 plays a crucial role in chromatin remodeling and gene expression by targeting histone H2A ubiquitinated at lysine 119 (H2AK119ub), a key epigenetic mark that regulates chromatin structure and transcriptional activity. 2. **DNA Damage Response:** RNF2 is involved in the DNA damage response pathway, where it targets proteins involved in DNA repair and replication, ensuring the integrity of the genome. 3. **Immune Regulation:** RNF2 has been implicated in immune regulation, where it targets proteins involved in immune cell function, such as T cells and dendritic cells. 4. **Cellular Senescence:** RNF2 has been shown to regulate cellular senescence, a state of permanent cell cycle arrest that occurs in response to DNA damage or other forms of cellular stress. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of RNF2 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer:** RNF2's role in chromatin regulation and DNA damage response makes it a potential target for cancer therapy. 2. **Autoimmune Diseases:** RNF2's involvement in immune regulation suggests that it may play a role in autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. 3. **Neurodegenerative Diseases:** RNF2's role in cellular senescence and chromatin regulation makes it a potential target for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. **Significantly Expressed Cells:** RNF2 is highly expressed in cells involved in: 1. **Germ Cell Development:** RNF2 is essential for germ cell development and fertility. 2. **Immune Cell Function:** RNF2 is expressed in immune cells, including T cells and dendritic cells. 3. **Neuronal Function:** RNF2 is expressed in neurons, including dopaminergic and glutamatergic cortical neurons. In conclusion, RNF2 is a complex and multifaceted protein that plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including chromatin regulation, DNA damage response, and immune regulation. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms of RNF2's functions and its role in human disease.
