Description
Description: This gene encodes a nuclear protein which is involved in cell-cycle regulation. The encoded protein is a ubiquitin-ligase capable of ubiquinating PCNP (PEST-containing nuclear protein), and together they may play a role in tumorigenesis. The encoded protein contains an NIRF_N domain, a PHD finger, a set-and ring-associated (SRA) domain, and a RING finger domain and several of these domains have been shown to be essential for the regulation of cell proliferation. This protein may also have a role in intranuclear degradation of polyglutamine aggregates. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants some of which are non-protein coding.

Function: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is an intermolecular hub protein in the cell cycle network. Through cooperative DNA and histone binding, may contribute to a tighter epigenetic control of gene expression in differentiated cells. Ubiquitinates cyclins, CCND1 and CCNE1, in an apparently phosphorylation-independent manner and induces G1 arrest. Also ubiquitinates PCNP leading to its degradation by the proteasome. E3 SUMO-, but not ubiquitin-, protein ligase for ZNF131.
Subunit Structure: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Binds methylated CpG containing oligonucleotides. Interacts with H3: the interaction has a preference for the 'Lys-9' trimethylated form of H3 (H3K9me3) (By similarity). Interacts with PCNP, HDAC1 and CDK2 (inactive form). Component of a complex at least composed of UHRF2, CDK2 and CCNE1. Interacts directly with CCNE1; the interaction ubiquitinates CCNE1 and appears independent of CCNE1 phosphorylation. Interacts with CCND1; the interaction ubiquitinates CCND1 and appears independent of CCND1 phosphorylation. Interacts with p53/TP53 and RB1. Interacts with UBE2I.
Post-translational Modifications: May be autoubiquitinated; which may lead to proteasomal degradation. Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation may be mediated by CDK2. Autosumoylated
