Summary
RNF135 (ring finger protein 135, HGNC:21158) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q11.2, encoding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF135 (Q8IUD6). E2-dependent E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that functions as a RIGI coreceptor in the sensing of viral RNAs in cell cytoplasm and the activation of the antiviral innate immune response.
The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger domain, a motif present in a variety of functionally distinct proteins and known to be involved in protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. This gene is located in a chromosomal region known to be frequently deleted in patients with neurofibromatosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 16)
- These data identify RNF135 as causative of a new overgrowth syndrome and demonstrate that RNF135 haploinsufficiency contributes to the phenotype of NF1 microdeletion cases. (PMID:17632510)
- identify an alternative factor, Riplet/RNF135, that promotes RIG-I activation independent of TRIM25 (PMID:19017631)

- REUL is an E3 ubiquitin ligase of RIG-I and specifically stimulates RIG-I-mediated innate antiviral activity (PMID:19484123)
- Riplet-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination released RIG-I RD autorepression, which allowed the access of positive factors to the RIG-I protein. (PMID:23950712)
- Data showed that the presence of the RNF135 K115 variant in the genotype of patients with autism was statistically significant. (PMID:26368817)
- findings demonstrate the biological effects of RNF135 in glioblastoma cell proliferation, migration and cell cycle, and its role in the progression of glioblastoma may be associated with the ERK signal transduction pathway. (PMID:26856755)
- In-depth analysis of population-differentiated regions indicated that the coding gene, RNF135, represented a trans-regulation hotspot via cis-regulation by the population-specific variants in the region of selective sweep. (PMID:27992444)
- Together with Riplet, Ube2D3 promotes covalent conjugation of polyubiquitin chains to RIG-I, while Ube2N preferentially facilitates production of unanchored chains.

Function. E2-dependent E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that functions as a RIGI coreceptor in the sensing of viral RNAs in cell cytoplasm and the activation of the antiviral innate immune response. Together with the UBE2D3, UBE2N and UB2V1 E2 ligases, catalyzes the ‘Lys-63’-linked polyubiquitination of RIGI oligomerized on viral RNAs, an essential step in the activation of the RIG-I signaling pathway. Through a ubiquitin-independent parallel mechanism, which consists in bridging RIGI filaments forming on longer viral RNAs, further activates the RIG-I signaling pathway. This second mechanism that synergizes with the ubiquitin-dependent one would thereby allow an RNA length-dependent regulation of the RIG-I signaling pathway. Associated with the E2 ligase UBE2N, also constitutively synthesizes unanchored ‘Lys-63’-linked polyubiquitin chains that may also activate the RIG-I signaling pathway.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts (homodimer) with RIGI (double-stranded RNA-bound oligomeric form); involved in both RIGI ubiquitination, oligomerization into filaments associated with viral RNAs and the bridging of these filaments. Interacts with UBE2D3 and UBE2N; E2 ubiquitin ligases involved in RNF135-mediated ubiquitination of RIGI and activation of the RIG-I signaling pathway. Interacts with PCBP2.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Stress granule.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in skeletal muscle, spleen, kidney, placenta, prostate, stomach, thyroid and tongue. Also weakly expressed in heart, thymus, liver and lung.
Post-translational modifications. (Microbial infection) Cleaved and inactivated by hepatitis C virus NS3/NS4A.
Domain organisation. The B30.2/SPRY domain mediates the interaction with the substrate RIGI. The coiled-coil domains mediate homodimerization and the bridging of viral RNA-associated RIGI filaments.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
