Background Descriptions | The tripartite motif (TRIM) family of proteins are characterized by a conserved TRIM domain that includes a coiled-coil region, a B-box type zinc finger, one RING finger and three zinc-binding domains. TRIM8 (tripartite motif containing 8), also known as GERP (glioblastoma-expressed RING finger protein) or RNF27 (RING finger protein 27), is a 551 amino acid protein that is thought to function as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that promotes SOCS-1 proteasomal degradation. As a widely expressed homodimer, TRIM8 localizes to nuclear bodies and contains two B box-type zinc fingers and one RING-type zinc finger. TRIM8 is expressed in lung, heart, brain and skeletal muscle, with low levels detected in intestine, placenta, leukocytes and liver. The gene encoding TRIM8 maps to human chromosome 10q24.32. |

Synonyms | GERP, RNF27 |
Function | E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that participates in multiple biological processes including cell survival, differentiation, apoptosis, and in particular, the innate immune response (PubMed:27981609, PubMed:28747347). Participates in the activation of interferon-gamma signaling by promoting proteasomal degradation of the repressor SOCS1 (PubMed:12163497). Plays a positive role in the TNFalpha and IL-1beta signaling pathways. Mechanistically, induces the 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of MAP3K7/TAK1 component leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B (PubMed:22084099, PubMed:23152791, PubMed:27981609, PubMed:34871740). Also modulates STAT3 activity through negative regulation of PIAS3, either by degradation of PIAS3 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway or exclusion of PIAS3 from the nucleus (PubMed:20516148). Negatively regulates TLR3/4-mediated innate immune response by catalyzing 'Lys-6'- and 'Lys-33'-linked polyubiquitination of TICAM1 and thereby disrupting the TICAM1-TBK1 interaction (PubMed:28747347). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Nucleus, nuclear body. Note=Nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation is involved in regulation of NF-kappa-B. |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Expressed in glomerular podocytes of kidneys. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:33508234, ECO:0000305} |
