Description
TRIM21, a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family, is a part of the RoSSA ribonucleoprotein, which includes a single polypeptide and one of four small RNA molecules. The RoSSA particle localizes to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus (1). RoSSA interacts with autoantigens in patients with Sjogren syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus (2). TRIM21 also acts as a cytosolic antibody receptor; detection of intracellular antibodies activate immune signaling by stimulating the transcription factor pathways of NF-kappaB, AP-1, IRF3, IRF5, and IRF7, resulting in the production of proinflammatory cytokines and the induction of an antiviral state (3)
