RNF5
geneOn this page
Also known as NG2G16RING5RMA1
Summary
RNF5 (ring finger protein 5, HGNC:10068) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p21.32, encoding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF5 (Q99942). Membrane-bound E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination of target proteins.
The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger, which is a motif known to be involved in protein-protein interactions. This protein is a membrane-bound ubiquitin ligase. It can regulate cell motility by targeting paxillin ubiquitination and altering the distribution and localization of paxillin in cytoplasm and cell focal adhesions.

Function. Membrane-bound E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination of target proteins. May function together with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes UBE2D1/UBCH5A and UBE2D2/UBC4. Mediates ubiquitination of PXN/paxillin,thereby regulating cell motility and localization of PXN/paxillin. Catalyzes ubiquitination of Salmonella type III secreted protein sopA. Mediates the ‘Lys-63’-linked polyubiquitination of JKAMP thereby regulating JKAMP function by decreasing its association with components of the proteasome and ERAD; the ubiquitination appears to involve E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2N. Mediates the ‘Lys-48’-linked polyubiquitination of STING1 at ‘Lys-150’ leading to its proteasomal degradation; the ubiquitination occurs in mitochondria after viral transfection and regulates antiviral responses. Catalyzes ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of ATG4B, thereby inhibiting autophagy.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PXN. Interacts with Salmonella typhimurium sopA. Interacts with JKAMP. Interacts with STING1; the interaction of endogenous proteins is dependent on viral infection.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Mitochondrion membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Similarity. Belongs to the RNF5 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 70 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.
