Name | TRIM63 |
---|---|
Synonyms | IRF, MURF1, RNF28, SMRZ |
Function | E3 ubiquitin ligase. Mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of CKM, GMEB1 and HIBADH. Regulates the proteasomal degradation of muscle proteins under amino acid starvation, where muscle protein is catabolized to provide other organs with amino acids. Inhibits de novo skeletal muscle protein synthesis under amino acid starvation. Regulates proteasomal degradation of cardiac troponin I/TNNI3 and probably of other sarcomeric-associated proteins. May play a role in striated muscle atrophy and hypertrophy by regulating an anti-hypertrophic PKC-mediated signaling pathway. May regulate the organization of myofibrils through TTN in muscle cells. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, M line. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, Z line Note=Colocalizes with TNNI3 in myocytes (By similarity). Localizes to the M- and Z-lines in skeletal muscle. |
Tissue Location | Muscle specific. Selectively expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. Also expressed in the iris |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the RING zinc finger protein family found in striated muscle and iris. The product of this gene is localized to the Z-line and M-line lattices of myofibrils, where titin's N-terminal and C-terminal regions respectively bind to the sarcomere. In vitro binding studies have shown that this protein also binds directly to titin near the region of titin containing kinase activity. Another member of this protein family binds to microtubules. Since these family members can form heterodimers, this suggests that these proteins may serve as a link between titin kinase and microtubule-dependent signal pathways in muscle.
