trim21

Trim21 is a type of E3 ubiquitin ligase that has been discovered in many eukaryotic cells.

Usage and Biology

The Tripartite motif-containing protein 21(Trim21) belongs to the E3 ubiquitin ligase family, which is encoded by the TRIM21 gene.The C-terminal B30.2 domain on trim21 shapes like a crab and offers a site for the conservative Fc region of human IgG 1,2 and 4 to bind with. This makes trim21 a potential protein degradation tool---when it binds with hIgG1-Fc, and after the antibody-antigen interaction, a ternary trim21-antibody-antigen complex would be built up. The trim21 then functions as a E3 ubiquitin ligase and proceeds the complex to be depleted through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
