TRIM38
Tripartite motif containing 38 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRIM38 gene. Function This gene encodes a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The encoded protein contains a RING-type zinc finger, B box-type zinc finger and SPRY domain. The function of this protein has not been identified. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 4 Chromosome 4 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 4 spans more than 190 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 6 and 6.5 percent of the to .... rovided by RefSeq, Jul 2012 References Further reading * * * {{gene-6-stub ...

Tripartite Motif Family
The tripartite motif family (TRIM) is a protein family. Function Many TRIM proteins are induced by interferons, which are important component of resistance to pathogens and several TRIM proteins are known to be required for the restriction of infection by lentiviruses. TRIM proteins are involved in pathogen-recognition and by regulation of transcriptional pathways in host defence. Structure The tripartite motif is always present at the N-terminus of the TRIM proteins. The TRIM motif includes the following three domains: * (1) a RING finger domain * (2) one or two B-box zinc finger domains ** when only one B-box is present, it is always a type-2 B-box ** when two B-boxes are present the type-1 B-Box always precedes the type-2 B-Box * (3) coiled coil region The C-terminus of TRIM proteins contain either: * Group 1 proteins: a C-terminal domain selected from the following list: ** NHL and IGFLMN domains, either in association or alone ** PHD domain The PHD finger was discovered ...
