TRAF2 regulates activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK and plays a central role in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis [1,2]. It has E3-ubiquitin protein ligase activity and promotes K63-linked ubiquitination of target proteins. It consists of an N-terminal domain with RING (Pfam:PF00097) and several zinc fingers, and a C-terminal TRAF domain that comprises a coiled-coil (Pfam:PF16673) and a TRAF-C domain [1]. This entry represents the second beta-beta-alpha zinc finger.
The C3HC4 type zinc-finger (RING finger) is a cysteine-rich domain of 40 to 60 residues that coordinates two zinc ions, and has the consensus sequence: C-X2-C-X(9-39)-C-X(1-3)-H-X(2-3)-C-X2-C-X(4-48)-C-X2-C where X is any amino acid [1]. Many protein ...

Many proteins containing a RING finger play a key role in the ubiquitination pathway [2].
