BRcat domain found in human homolog of Drosophila Ariadne (HHARI) and similar proteins; This subfamily includes Drosophila melanogaster protein ariadne-1 (ARI-1), and its eukaryotic homologs, such as HHARI. ARI-1 is a widely expressed Drosophila RING-finger protein that localizes mainly in the cytoplasm, and is required for neural development. It interacts with the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, UbcD10. HHARI is also called H7-AP2, monocyte protein 6 (MOP-6), protein ariadne-1 homolog, Ariadne RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (ARIH1), ariadne-1 (ARI-1), UbcH7-binding protein, UbcM4-interacting protein, or ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2-binding protein 1. It is an RBR-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase highly expressed in nuclei, where it is co-localized with nuclear bodies including Cajal, PML, and Lewy bodies. It interacts with the E2 conjugating enzymes UbcH7, UbcH8, UbcM4, and UbcD10 in human, mouse and fly, and modulates the ubiquitylation of substrate proteins including single-minded 2 (SIM2) and translation initiation factor 4E homologous protein (4EHP). It functions as a potent mediator of DNA damage-induced translation arrest, which protects stem and cancer cells against genotoxic stress by initiating a 4EHP-mediated mRNA translation arrest. HHARI contains an RBR domain that was previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain. Based on current understanding of the structural biology of RBR ligases, the nomenclature of RBR has been changed to RING1-BRcat (benign-catalytic)-Rcat (required-for-catalysis) recently. The RBR domain uses an auto-inhibitory mechanism to modulate ubiquitination activity, as well as a hybrid mechanism that combines aspects from both RING and HECT E3 ligase functions to facilitate the ubiquitination reaction. This model corresponds to the BRcat domain of HHARI and similar proteins that adopt the same fold as the Rcat domain while lacking the catalytic cysteine residue and ubiquitination activity.

This domain has also been called the C6HC domain and DRIL (for double RING finger linked) domain. Proteins that contain two Ring fingers and an IBR domain (these proteins are also termed RBR family proteins) are thought to exist in all eukaryotic organizms. RBR family members play roles in protein quality control and can indirectly regulate transcription. Evidence suggests that RBR proteins are often parts of cullin-containing ubiquitin ligase complexes. The ubiquitin ligase Parkin is an RBR family protein whose mutations are involved in forms of familial Parkinson's disease.

BRcat domain found in two RING fingers and DRIL [double RING finger linked] 1 (TRIAD1); TRIAD1, also called ariadne-2 (ARI-2), protein ariadne-2 homolog, Ariadne RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2 (ARIH2), or UbcM4-interacting protein 48, is an RBR-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that catalyzes the formation of polyubiquitin chains linked via lysine-48 as well as lysine-63 residues. Its auto-ubiquitylation can be catalyzed by the E2 conjugating enzyme UBCH7. TRIAD1 has been implicated in hematopoiesis, specifically in myelopoiesis, as well as in embryogenesis. It functions as a regulator of endosomal transport, and is required for the proper function of multivesicular bodies. It also acts as a novel ubiquitination target for proteasome-dependent degradation by murine double minute 2 (MDM2). As a proapoptotic protein, TRIAD1 promotes p53 activation, and inhibits MDM2-mediated p53 ubiquitination and degradation. Furthermore, TRIAD1 can inhibit the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of growth factor independence 1 (Gfi1), a transcriptional repressor essential for the function and development of many different hematopoietic lineages. TRIAD1 contains an RBR domain that was previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain. Based on current understanding of the structural biology of RBR ligases, the nomenclature of RBR has been changed to RING1-BRcat (benign-catalytic)-Rcat (required-for-catalysis) recently.

Rcat domain found in E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase ARI7 and similar proteins; This subfamily contains probable RBR-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases (EC 2.3.2.31) including Arabidopsis thaliana ARI5, ARI6, ARI7, and ARI8, as well as Dictyostelium discoideum RbrA (also called Ariadne-like ubiquitin ligase). They may function as part of E3 complexes, which accept ubiquitin from E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and then transfer it to substrates. RbrA may be required for normal cell-type proportioning and cell sorting during multicellular development, and is also necessary for spore cell viability.

Rcat domain found in RING finger protein 14 (RNF14); RNF14, also called androgen receptor (AR)-associated protein 54 (ARA54), HFB30, or Triad2 protein, is an RBR-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is highly expressed in the testis and interacts with class III E2s (UBE2E2, UbcH6, and UBE2E3). Its differential localization may play an important role in testicular development and spermatogenesis in humans. RNF14 functions as a transcriptional regulator of mitochondrial and immune function in muscles. It is a ligand-dependent AR co-activator that enhances AR-dependent transcriptional activation. It also may participate in enhancing cell cycle progression and cell proliferation via induction of cyclin D1. Moreover, RNF14 is crucial for colon cancer cell survival. It acts as a new enhancer of the Wnt-dependent transcriptional outputs that acts at the level of the T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor (TCF/LEF)-beta-catenin complex. RNF14 contains an N-terminal RWD domain, and a C-terminal RBR domain. The RBR domain was previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain. Based on current understanding of the structural biology of RBR ligases, the nomenclature of RBR has been changed to RING1-BRcat (benign-catalytic)-Rcat (required-for-catalysis) recently.

Rcat domain of ATP-dependent RNA helicase DEAH12 and similar proteins; This group includes Arabidopsis thaliana ATP-dependent RNA helicases DEAH11 and DEAH12, which may be bifunctional proteins that function as DEAD-box RNA helicases (EC 3.6.4.13) and RBR-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases (EC 2.3.2.31). As RNA helicases, they may utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind RNA (or DNA). DEAD-box RNA helicases participate in every aspect of RNA metabolism. As E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, they may function as part of E3 complexes, which accept ubiquitin from specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and then transfer it to substrates. Other members of this group may not have an RNA helicase domain. All members contain an RBR domain that was previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain. Based on current understanding of the structural biology of RBR ligases, the nomenclature of RBR has been changed to RING1-BRcat (benign-catalytic)-Rcat (required-for-catalysis) recently. The RBR domain uses an auto-inhibitory mechanism to modulate ubiquitination activity, as well as a hybrid mechanism that combines aspects from both RING and HECT E3 ligase functions to facilitate the ubiquitination reaction. This model corresponds to the Rcat domain that is essential for RBR E3 ligase activity and adopts the same fold as the BRcat domain.

Rcat domain found in cullin-9 (CUL-9) and similar proteins; CUL-9, also called UbcH7-associated protein 1 (H7-AP1), p53-associated parkin-like cytoplasmic protein, or PARC, is a cytoplasmic RBR-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that function as a tumor suppressor and promotes p53-dependent apoptosis. It mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of cytosolic cytochrome c to promote survival in neurons and cancer cells. It is also a critical downstream effector of the 3M complex in the maintenance of microtubules and genome integrity. Moreover, CUL-9, together with CUL-7, forms homodimers and heterodimers, as well as some atypical cullin RING ligase complexes, which may exhibit ubiquitin ligase activity. CUL-9 contains a CPH domain (conserved in Cul7, PARC, and HERC2 proteins), a DOC (DOC1/APC10) domain, cullin homology domains linked with E3 ligase function, and a C-terminal RBR domain previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain. Based on current understanding of the structural biology of RBR ligases, the nomenclature of RBR has been changed to RING1-BRcat (benign-catalytic)-Rcat (required-for-catalysis) recently.

BRcat (benign-catalytic) domain, part of the RBR (RING1-BRcat-Rcat) domain; The RBR family of RING-type E3 ligases are characterized by containing an RBR domain, which was previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain. It is composed of an extended RING domain (RING1) followed by an in-between RING (IBR) domain and the catalytic domain, which is structurally an IBR domain but is commonly designated as RING2. Based on current understanding of the structural biology of RBR ligases, the nomenclature of RBR has been changed to RING1-BRcat (benign-catalytic)-Rcat (required-for-catalysis) recently, where the IBR and RING2 domains have been renamed as BRcat and Rcat domains, respectively. The RBR domain uses an auto-inhibitory mechanism to modulate ubiquitination activity, as well as a hybrid mechanism that combines aspects from both RING and HECT E3 ligase functions to facilitate the ubiquitination reaction. The BRcat domain adopts the same fold as the Rcat domain while lacking the catalytic cysteine residue and ubiquitination activity. RBR family members play roles in protein quality control and can indirectly regulate transcription. Evidence suggests that RBR proteins are often parts of cullin-containing ubiquitin ligase complexes. The model corresponds to the BRcat domain.

RNF19A, also called double ring-finger protein (Dorfin) or p38, localizes to the ubiquitylated inclusions in Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (LBs), multiple system atrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It interacts with Psmc3, a protein component of the 19S regulatory cap of the 26S proteasome, and further participates in the ubiquitin-proteasome system in acrosome biogenesis, spermatid head shaping, and development of the head-tail coupling apparatus and tail. It modulates the ubiquitination and degradation of calcium-sensing receptor (CaR), which may contribute to a general mechanism for CaR quality control during biosynthesis. Moreover, RNF19A can also ubiquitylate mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), the causative gene of familial ALS. It may associate with the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway, which is related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, such as PD or Alzheimer's disease. It is also involved in the pathogenic process of PD and LB formation by ubiquitylation of synphilin-1. RNF19B, also called IBR domain-containing protein 3, or natural killer (NK) lytic-associated molecule (NKLAM), plays a role in controlling tumor dissemination and metastasis. It is involved in the cytolytic function of NK cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). It interacts with ubiquitin conjugates UbcH7 and UbcH8, and ubiquitinates uridine kinase like-1 protein, targeting it for degradation. RNF19B is a novel component of macrophage phagosomes and plays a role in macrophage anti-bacterial activity. It functions as a novel modulator of macrophage inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression. Both RNF19A and RNF19B contain an RBR domain followed by three TMs. The RBR domain was previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain.

Rcat domain found in heme-oxidized IRP2 ubiquitin ligase 1 (HOIL-1) and similar proteins; HOIL-1 is also called RBCK1, HOIL-1L, RanBP-type and C3HC4-type zinc finger-containing protein 1, HBV-associated factor 4, Hepatitis B virus X-associated protein 4, RING finger protein 54 (RNF54), ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 7-interacting protein 3, or UbcM4-interacting protein 28 (UIP28). Together with the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF31 (also known as HOIP) and SHANK-associated RH domain interacting protein (SHARPIN), it forms the E3-ligase complex (also known as linear-ubiquitin-chain assembly complex LUBAC) that regulates NF-kappaB activity and apoptosis through conjugation of linear polyubiquitin chains to NF-kappaB essential modulator (also known as NEMO or IKBKG). HOIL-1 plays a crucial role in TNF-alpha-mediated NF-kappaB activation. It also functions as an ubiquitin-protein ligase E3 that interacts with not only PKCbeta but also PKCzeta. It can recognize heme-oxidized IRP2 (iron regulatory protein2) and is thought to affect the turnover of oxidatively damaged proteins. HOIL-1 contains an N-terminal ubiqutin-like (UBL) domain and an Npl4 zinc-finger (NZF) domain, which regulate the interaction with the LUBAC subunit RNF31 and ubiquitin, respectively. The NZF domain belongs to RanBP2-type zinc finger (zf-RanBP2) domain superfamily. In addition, HOIL-1 has an RBR domain that was previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain. Based on current understanding of the structural biology of RBR ligases, the nomenclature of RBR has been changed to RING1-BRcat (benign-catalytic)-Rcat (required-for-catalysis) recently.

RNF19A, also known as double ring-finger protein (Dorfin) or p38, localizes to the ubiquitylated inclusions in Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It interacts with Psmc3, a protein component of the 19S regulatory cap of the 26S proteasome, and further participates in the ubiquitin-proteasome system in acrosome biogenesis, spermatid head shaping, and development of the head-tail coupling apparatus and tail. It modulates the ubiquitination and degradation of calcium-sensing receptor (CaR), which may contribute to a general mechanism for CaR quality control during biosynthesis. Moreover, RNF19A can also ubiquitylate mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), the causative gene of familial ALS. It may associate with endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway, which is related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, such as PD or Alzheimer's disease. RNF19B, also known as IBR domain-containing protein 3 or natural killer lytic-associated molecule (NKLAM), plays a role in controlling tumor dissemination and metastasis. It is involved in the cytolytic function of natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). It interacts with ubiquitin conjugates UbcH7 and UbcH8, and ubiquitinates uridine kinase like-1 (URKL-1) protein, targeting it for degradation. Moreover, RNF19B is a novel component of macrophage phagosomes and plays a role in macrophage anti-bacterial activity. It functions as a novel modulator of macrophage inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression. Both RNF19A and RNF19B contain an RBR domain followed by three TMs. The RBR domain was previously known as RING-BetweenRING-RING domain or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] domain. Based on current understanding of the structural biology of RBR ligases, the nomenclature of RBR has been corrected as RING-BRcat (benign-catalytic)-Rcat (required-for-catalysis) recently. The RBR (RING1-BRcat-Rcat) domain uses an auto-inhibitory mechanism to modulate ubiquitination activity, as well as a hybrid mechanism that combines aspects from both RING and HECT E3 ligase function to facilitate the ubiquitination reaction. This model corresponds to the RING domain, a C3HC4-type RING-HC finger required for RBR-mediated ubiquitination.
