TRIP12
Description
The TRIP12 (thyroid hormone receptor interactor 12) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2.
Probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIP12 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TRIP12 gene.
== Interactions == TRIP12 has been shown to interact with APPBP1.
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in ubiquitin fusion degradation (UFD) pathway and regulation of DNA repair (PubMed:19028681, PubMed:22884692). Part of the ubiquitin fusion degradation (UFD) pathway, a process that mediates ubiquitination of protein at their N-terminus, regardless of the presence of lysine residues in target proteins (PubMed:19028681). Acts as a key regulator of DNA damage response by acting as a suppressor of RNF168, an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that promotes accumulation of 'Lys-63'-linked histone H2A and H2AX at DNA damage sites, thereby acting as a guard against excessive spreading of ubiquitinated chromatin at damaged chromosomes (PubMed:22884692). In normal cells, mediates ubiquitination and degradation of isoform p19ARF/ARF of CDKN2A, a lysine-less tumor suppressor required for p53/TP53 activation under oncogenic stress (PubMed:20208519). In cancer cells, however, isoform p19ARF/ARF and TRIP12 are located in different cell compartments, preventing isoform p19ARF/ARF ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:20208519). Does not mediate ubiquitination of isoform p16-INK4a of CDKN2A (PubMed:20208519). Also catalyzes ubiquitination of NAE1 and SMARCE1, leading to their degradation (PubMed:18627766). Ubiquitination and degradation of target proteins is regulated by interaction with proteins such as MYC, TRADD or SMARCC1, which disrupt the interaction between TRIP12 and target proteins (PubMed:20829358). Mediates ubiquitination of ASXL1: following binding to N(6)-methyladenosine methylated DNA, ASXL1 is ubiquitinated by TRIP12, leading to its degradation and subsequent inactivation of the PR-DUB complex (PubMed:30982744). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18627766, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19028681, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20208519, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20829358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22884692, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30982744}
TRIP12 is also known as MRD49, TRIP-12, TRIPC, ULF.
