Summary

TRIM52 (tripartite motif containing 52, HGNC:19024) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q35.3, encoding E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM52 (Q96A61). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase.

Enables transcription coactivator activity and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and protein autoubiquitination. Located in cytosol and nucleus.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Positively regulates the NF-kappa-B signaling pathway. (Microbial infection) Exhibits antiviral activity against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Ubiquitinates the viral non-structural protein 2 (NS2A) and targets it for proteasome-mediated degradation.

Subunit / interactions. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Japanese encephalitis virus non-structural protein 2 (NS2A); mediates the ubiquitination of NS2A, targeting it for proteasome-mediated degradation.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol. Nucleus.

Post-translational modifications. Autoubiquitinated. Polyubiquitinated. Undergoes extremely rapid proteolytic degradation by the proteasome.

Domain organisation. The RING-type zinc finger domain is essential for its E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity, ability to positively regulate the NF-kappa-B signaling pathway and its antiviral activity.

Induction. Up-regulated by Golgi stress-inducing agents such nigericin, trichostatin, tetoposide, campothecin and brefeldin A. Up-regulated by IL1B/interleukin-1 beta and TNFA/TNF.

Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.

Miscellaneous. Arose via a partial duplication of the TRIM41 gene, followed by independent loss or pseudogenization of TRIM52 in multiple mammalian and primate lineages.

Similarity. Belongs to the TRIM/RBCC family.
