Topic: Ring finger


  
  CiteULike: The solution structure of the RING finger domain from the acute promyelocytic leukaemia proto-oncoprotein ...
A comparison of the structure with the previously solved equine herpes virus IE110 RING finger, shows significant differences suggesting that the RING motif is structurally diverse.
The role of the RING domain in PML nuclear body formation was tested in vivo, by using site-directed mutagenesis and immunofluorescence on transiently transfected NIH 3T3 cells.
These results suggest that the PML RING domain is probably involved in protein-protein interactions, a feature which may be common to other RING finger domains.
