Sina is a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase first identified in Drosophila, a protein essential for the determination of the R7 pathway in photoreceptor cell development [3]. Murine and human homologues of Sina have also been identified, namely Siah1 and Siah2 [1-4], and also in Arabidopsis, SINAT3 [5]. These proteins have a RING-type zinc finger at the N-terminal followed by two zinc fingers and a C-terminal TRAF-like domain (Pfam:PF03145) [1-5]. This entry represents the central C2H2 zinc finger domains.
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase sina/sinah, RING finger
This is the RING finger domain of Sina and its homologues from animals, Sinah1/2 and plants, such as SINAT3 from Arabidopsis [3]. Sina (seven in absentia) was first identified in Drosophila and is essential for the determination of the R7 pathway in ...
This is the RING finger domain of Sina and its homologues from animals, Sinah1/2 and plants, such as SINAT3 from Arabidopsis [3]. Sina (seven in absentia) was first identified in Drosophila and is essential for the determination of the R7 pathway in photoreceptor cell development. It consists of a RING zinc finger at the N-terminal, followed by two zinc finger (C2H2 type) domains (Pfam:PF21361) and a C-terminal TRAF-like domain (Pfam:PF03145) [1,2]. This domain gives the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity to these proteins.
