Tripartite motif containing protein 37 (TRIM37) family, MATH domain; TRIM37 is a peroxisomal protein and is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) protein subfamily, also known as the RING-B-box-coiled-coil (RBCC) subfamily of zinc-finger proteins. Mutations in the human TRIM37 gene (also known as MUL) cause Mulibrey (muscle-liver-brain-eye) nanism, a rare growth disorder of prenatal onset characterized by dysmorphic features, pericardial constriction and hepatomegaly. TRIM37, similar to other TRIMs, contains a cysteine-rich, zinc-binding RING-finger domain followed by another cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain, the B-box, and a coiled-coil domain. TRIM37 is autoubiquitinated in a RING domain-dependent manner, indicating that it functions as an ubiquitin E3 ligase. In addition to the tripartite motif, TRIM37 also contains a MATH domain C-terminal to the coiled-coil domain. The MATH domain of TRIM37 has been shown to interact with the TRAF domain of six known TRAFs in vitro, however, it is unclear whether this is physiologically relevant. Eleven TRIM37 mutations have been associated with Mulibrey nanism so far. One mutation, Gly322Val, is located in the MATH domain and is the only mutation that does not affect the length of the protein. It results in the incorrect subcellular localization of TRIM37.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 37 (TRIM37) and similar proteins; TRIM37, also known as Mulibrey nanism protein, is a peroxisomal E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is involved in the tumorigenesis of several cancer types, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), breast cancer, and sporadic fibrothecoma. It mono-ubiquitinates histone H2A, a chromatin modification associated with transcriptional repression. Moreover, TRIM37 possesses anti-HIV-1 activity, and interferes with viral DNA synthesis. Mutations in the human TRIM37 gene (also known as MUL) cause Mulibrey (muscle-liver-brain-eye) nanism, a rare growth disorder of prenatal onset characterized by dysmorphic features, pericardial constriction, and hepatomegaly. TRIM37 belongs to the C-VIII subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a MATH (meprin and TRAF-C homology) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. Its MATH domain has been shown to interact with the TRAF (TNF-Receptor-Associated Factor) domain of six known TRAFs in vitro. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

MATH (meprin and TRAF-C homology) domain; an independent folding unit with an eight-stranded beta-sandwich structure found in meprins, TRAFs and other proteins. Meprins comprise a class of extracellular metalloproteases which are anchored to the membrane and are capable of cleaving growth factors, extracellular matrix proteins, and biologically active peptides. TRAF molecules serve as adapter proteins that link cell surface receptors of the Tumor Necrosis Factor and 1nterleukin-1/Toll-like families to downstream kinase cascades, which results in the activation of transcription factors and the regulation of cell survival, proliferation and stress responses in the immune and inflammatory systems. Other members include the ubiquitin ligases, TRIM37 and SPOP, and the ubiquitin-specific proteases, HAUSP and Ubp21p. A large number of uncharacterized members mostly from lineage-specific expansions in C. elegans and rice contain MATH and BTB domains, similar to SPOP. The MATH domain has been shown to bind peptide/protein substrates in TRAFs and HAUSP. It is possible that the MATH domain in other members of this superfamily also interacts with various protein substrates. The TRAF domain may also be involved in the trimerization of TRAFs. Based on homology, it is postulated that the MATH domain in meprins may be involved in its tetramer assembly and that the MATH domain, in general, may take part in diverse modular arrangements defined by adjacent multimerization domains.

Ubiquitin-specific protease 21 (Ubp21p) family, MATH domain; composed of fungal proteins with similarity to Ubp21p of fission yeast. Ubp21p is a deubiquitinating enzyme that may be involved in the regulation of the protein kinase Prp4p, which controls the formation of active spliceosomes. Members of this family are similar to human HAUSP (Herpesvirus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease) in that they contain an N-terminal MATH domain and a C-terminal catalytic protease (C19 family) domain. HAUSP is also an ubiquitin-specific protease that specifically catalyzes the deubiquitylation of p53 and MDM2. The MATH domain of HAUSP contains the binding site for p53 and MDM2. Similarly, the MATH domain of members in this family may be involved in substrate binding.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 14 (TRIM14) and similar proteins; TRIM14 is a mitochondrial adaptor that facilitates innate immune signaling. It also plays a critical role in tumor development. TRIM14 belongs to an unclassified TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that do not have RING fingers and thus lack the characteristic tripartite (RING (R), B-box, and coiled coil (CC)) RBCC motif. It contains a Bbox2 zinc finger as well as a C-terminal SPRY/B30.2 domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing proteins, TRIM9, TRIM67 and similar proteins; This family includes a group of tripartite motif-containing proteins including TRIM9 and TRIM67, both of which belong to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, consisting of three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif. TRIM9 (the human ortholog of rat Spring), also known as RING finger protein 91 (RNF91), is a brain-specific E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase collaborating with an E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBCH5b. It plays an important role in the regulation of neuronal functions and participates in neurodegenerative disorders through its ligase activity. TRIM67, also termed TRIM9-like protein (TNL), is a protein selectively expressed in the cerebellum. It interacts with PRG-1, an important molecule in the control of hippocampal excitability dependent on presynaptic LPA2 receptor signaling, and 80K-H (also known as glucosidase II beta), a protein kinase C substrate. It negatively regulates Ras signaling in cell proliferation via degradation of 80K-H, leading to neural differentiation including neuritogenesis.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in B box and SPRY domain-containing protein (BSPRY) and similar proteins; BSPRY is a regulatory protein for maintaining calcium homeostasis. It may regulate epithelial calcium transport by inhibiting TRPV5 activity. BSPRY is composed of a B-box, an alpha-helical coiled coil and a SPRY domain. The B-box motif shows high sequence similarity with B-Box-type zinc finger 2 found in tripartite motif-containing proteins (TRIMs). The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

Herpesvirus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease (HAUSP, also known as USP7) family, N-terminal MATH (TRAF-like) domain; composed of proteins similar to human HAUSP, an enzyme that specifically catalyzes the deubiquitylation of p53 and MDM2, hence playing an important role in the p53-MDM2 pathway. It contains an N-terminal TRAF-like domain and a C-terminal catalytic protease (C19 family) domain. The tumor suppressor p53 protein is a transcription factor that responds to many cellular stress signals and is regulated primarily through ubiquitylation and subsequent degradation. MDM2 is a RING-finger E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes p53 ubiquitinylation. p53 and MDM2 bind to the same site in the N-terminal TRAF-like domain of HAUSP in a mutually exclusive manner. HAUSP also interacts with the Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) protein of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which efficiently immortalizes infected cells predisposing the host to a variety of cancers. EBNA1 plays several important roles in EBV latent infection and cellular transformation. It binds the same pocket as p53 in the HAUSP TRAF-like domain. Through interactions with p53, MDM2 and EBNA1, HAUSP plays a role in cell proliferation, apoptosis and EBV-mediated immortalization.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 72 (TRIM72) and similar proteins; TRIM72, also known as Mitsugumin-53 (MG53), is a muscle-specific protein that plays a central role in cell membrane repair by nucleating the assembly of the repair machinery at muscle injury sites. It is required in repair of alveolar epithelial cells under plasma membrane stress failure. It interacts with dysferlin to regulate sarcolemmal repair. Upregulation of TRIM72 develops obesity, systemic insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia, as well as induces diabetic cardiomyopathy through transcriptional activation of peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-alpha) signaling pathway. Compensation for the absence of AKT signaling by ERK signaling during TRIM72 overexpression leads to pathological hypertrophy. Moreover, TRIM72 functions as a novel negative feedback regulator of myogenesis via targeting insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1). It is transcriptionally activated by the synergism of myogenin (MyoD) and myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2). TRIM72 belongs to the C-IV subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 36 (TRIM36) and similar proteins; TRIM36, human ortholog of mouse Haprin, also known as RING finger protein 98 (RNF98) or zinc-binding protein Rbcc728, is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase expressed in the germ plasm. It has been implicated in acrosome reaction, fertilization, and embryogenesis, as well as in carcinogenesis. TRIM36 functions upstream of Wnt/beta-catenin activation, and plays a role in controlling the stability of proteins regulating microtubule polymerization during cortical rotation, and subsequently dorsal axis formation. It is also potentially associated with chromosome segregation through interacting with the kinetochore protein centromere protein-H (CENP-H), and colocalizing with the microtubule protein alpha-tubulin. Its overexpression may cause chromosomal instability and carcinogenesis. It is, thus, a novel regulator affecting cell cycle progression. Moreover, TRIM36 plays a critical role in the arrangement of somites during embryogenesis. TRIM36 belongs to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, a fibronectin type III (FN3) domain, and a B30.2/SPRY (SplA and ryanodine receptor) domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.

B-box-type 2 zinc finger found in tripartite motif-containing protein 9 (TRIM9) and similar proteins; TRIM9 (the human ortholog of rat Spring), also termed RING finger protein 91 (RNF91), is a brain-specific E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase collaborating with an E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBCH5b. TRIM9 plays an important role in the regulation of neuronal functions and participates in the neurodegenerative disorders through its ligase activity. It interacts with the WD repeat region of beta-transducer repeat-containing protein (beta-TCP) through its N-terminal degron motif (DSGXXS) depending on the phosphorylation status, and thus negatively regulate nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation in the NF-kappaB pro-inflammatory signaling pathway. Moreover, TRIM9 acts as a critical catalytic link between Netrin-1 and exocytosis soluble NSF attachment receptor protein (SNARE) machinery in murine cortical neurons. It promotes SNARE-mediated vesicle fusion and axon branching in a Netrin-dependent manner. TRIM9 belongs to the C-I subclass of TRIM (tripartite motif) family of proteins that are defined by their N-terminal RBCC (RING, Bbox, and coiled coil) domains, including three consecutive zinc-binding domains, a RING finger, Bbox1 and Bbox2, and a coiled coil region, as well as a COS (carboxyl-terminal subgroup one signature) box, the fibronectin type III domain and the SPRY/B30.2 domain positioned C-terminal to the RBCC domain. The type 2 B-box (Bbox2) zinc finger is characterized by a CHC3H2 zinc-binding consensus motif.
