Summary
RNF125 (ring finger protein 125, HGNC:21150) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 18q12.1, encoding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF125 (Q96EQ8). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins, such as RIGI, MAVS/IPS1, IFIH1/MDA5, JAK1 and p53/TP53.
This gene encodes a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase that contains a RING finger domain in the N-terminus and three zinc-binding and one ubiquitin-interacting motif in the C-terminus. As a result of myristoylation, this protein associates with membranes and is primarily localized to intracellular membrane systems. The encoded protein may function as a positive regulator in the T-cell receptor signaling pathway.

All UniProt accessions (2): Q96EQ8, J3QQW8
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins, such as RIGI, MAVS/IPS1, IFIH1/MDA5, JAK1 and p53/TP53. Acts as a negative regulator of type I interferon production by mediating ubiquitination of RIGI at ‘Lys-181’, leading to RIGI degradation. Mediates ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of p53/TP53. Mediates ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of JAK1. Acts as a positive regulator of T-cell activation.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with UBE2D1. Interacts with VCP/p97; leading to recruit RNF125 to RIGI and promote ubiquitination of RIGI.
Subcellular location. Golgi apparatus membrane.
Tissue specificity. Predominantly expressed in lymphoid tissues, including bone marrow, spleen and thymus. Also weakly expressed in other tissues. Predominant in the CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cells, suggesting that it is preferentially confined to T-cells.
Post-translational modifications. Autoubiquitinated, leading to its subsequent proteasomal degradation.
Disease relevance. Tenorio syndrome (TNORS) [MIM:616260] A disease characterized by overgrowth, macrocephaly, and intellectual disability. Some patients may have mild hydrocephaly, hypoglycemia, and inflammatory diseases resembling Sjogren syndrome. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The C2HC RNF-type zinc finger and the linker region stabilize the RING-type zinc finger, leading to promote binding of the RING-type zinc finger to the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 (donor ubiquitin).
Induction. Down-regulated by miR-15b. Down-regulated in BRAFi resistant melanomas, leading to increased levels of JAK1 and possibly promoting BRAFi resistance.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 22 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.
