BRcat 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 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. 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 HOIL1 that adopts the same fold as the Rcat domain while lacking the catalytic cysteine residue and ubiquitination activity.

RING finger (Really Interesting New Gene) domain and U-box domain superfamily; The RING finger is a specialized type of Zn-finger of 40 to 60 residues that binds two atoms of zinc. It is defined by the "cross-brace" motif that chelates zinc atoms by eight amino acid residues, typically Cys or His, arranged in a characteristic spacing. Canonical RING motifs have been categorized into two major subclasses, RING-HC (C3HC4-type) and RING-H2 (C3H2C3-type), according to their Cys/His content. There are also many variants of RING fingers: some have different Cys/His patterns while some lack a single Cys or His residue at typical Zn ligand positions (the fourth or eighth zinc ligand is prevalently exchanged for an Asp, which can indeed chelate Zn in a RING finger as well). C4C4-, C3HC3D-, C2H2C4-, and C3HC5-type RING fingers are closely related to RING-HC fingers. In contrast, C4HC3- (RING-CH alias RINGv), C3H3C2-, C3H2C2D-, C3DHC3-, and C4HC2H-type RING fingers are more closely related to RING-H2 fingers. However, not all RING finger-containing proteins display regular RING finger features, and the RING finger family has turned out to be multifarious. The degenerate RING fingers of the Siz/PIAS RING (SP-RING) family proteins and sporulation protein RMD5, are characterized by lacking the second, fifth, and sixth Zn2+ ion-coordinating residues. They bind only one Zn2+ ion. On the other hand, the RING fingers of the human APC11 and RBX1 proteins can bind a third Zn atom since they harbor four additional Zn ligands. U-box is a modified form of the RING finger domain that lacks metal chelating Cys and His residues. It resembles the cross-brace RING structure consisting of three beta-sheets and a single alpha-helix, which would be stabilized by salt bridges instead of chelated metal ions. U-box proteins are widely distributed among eukaryotic organisms and show a higher prevalence in plants than in other organisms. RING finger/U-box-containing proteins are a group of diverse proteins with a variety of cellular functions, including oncogenesis, development, viral replication, signal transduction, the cell cycle and apoptosis. Many of them are ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s) that serve as scaffolds for binding to ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s, also referred to as ubiquitin carrier proteins or UBCs) in close proximity to substrate proteins, which enable efficient transfer of ubiquitin from E2 to the substrates.

Rcat (required-for-catalysis) 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 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 Rcat domain contains 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. This model corresponds to the Rcat domain that adopts the same fold as the BRcat domain.

Rcat domain found in RING finger protein 217 (RNF217); RNF217, also called IBR domain-containing protein 1 (IBRDC1), is a transmembrane (TM) domain-containing RBR-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, with different splice variants, that is mainly expressed in testis and skeletal muscle. It interacts with the anti-apoptotic protein HAX1, and is adjacent to a translocation breakpoint involving ETV6 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

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.
