Protein
Tripartite motif-containing protein 6
Function
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which ubiquitinates MYC and inhibits its transcription activation activity, maintaining the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (PubMed:22328504). Involved in the synthesis of unanchored K48-linked polyubiquitin chains which interact with and activate the serine/threonine kinase IKBKE, leading to phosphorylation of STAT1 and stimulation of an antiviral response (PubMed:24882218).
Similarity
Belongs to the TRIM/RBCC family.
