Summary
RLIM (ring finger protein, LIM domain interacting, HGNC:13429) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq13.2, encoding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RLIM (Q9NVW2). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that acts as a negative coregulator for LIM homeodomain transcription factors by mediating the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of LIM cofactors LDB1 and LDB2 and by mediating the recruitment the SIN3a/histone deacetylase corepressor complex.
The protein encoded by this gene is a RING-H2 zinc finger protein. It has been shown to be an E3 ubiquitin protein ligase that targets LIM domain binding 1 (LDB1/CLIM), and causes proteasome-dependent degradation of LDB1. This protein and LDB1 are co-repressors of LHX1/LIM-1, a homeodomain transcription factor. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.

Function. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that acts as a negative coregulator for LIM homeodomain transcription factors by mediating the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of LIM cofactors LDB1 and LDB2 and by mediating the recruitment the SIN3a/histone deacetylase corepressor complex. Ubiquitination and degradation of LIM cofactors LDB1 and LDB2 allows DNA-bound LIM homeodomain transcription factors to interact with other protein partners such as RLIM. Plays a role in telomere length-mediated growth suppression by mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of TERF1. By targeting ZFP42/REX1 for degradation, acts as an activator of random inactivation of X chromosome in the embryo, a stochastic process in which one X chromosome is inactivated to minimize sex-related dosage differences of X-encoded genes in somatic cells of female placental mammals. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase is required for proper regulation of neural cell differentiation from embryonic stem cells.
Subunit / interactions. Forms homodimers. Interacts with LIM/homeobox factors such as LHX3. Interacts with LDB1, LDB2 and SIN3A. Interacts with LIMK1. Interacts (via N-terminus) with TERF1. Interacts (via C-terminus) with ESR1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in many tissues.
Disease relevance. Tonne-Kalscheuer syndrome (TOKAS) [MIM:300978] An X-linked recessive disorder characterized by global developmental delay apparent from early infancy, impaired intellectual development, speech delay, behavioral abnormalities, abnormal gait, dysmorphic facial features, limb anomalies, and urogenital abnormalities with hypogenitalism. A subset of more severely affected males develop congenital diaphragmatic hernia in utero, which may result in perinatal or premature death. Carrier females may have very mild skeletal or hormonal abnormalities. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Miscellaneous. Acts as a positive coregulator of ESR1-mediated transcription in breast cancer cells.
Similarity. Belongs to the RNF12 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 127 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
