background:
RNF169 contains 1 RING type zinc finger. The exact functions of RNF169 remain unknown.
Function:
Probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that acts as a negative regulator of double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair following DNA damage. Recruited to DSB repair sites by recognizing and binding ubiquitin catalyzed by RNF168 and competes with TP53BP1 and BRCA1 for association with RNF168-modified chromatin, thereby acting as a negative regulator of DSBs repair. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is not required for regulation of DSBs repair.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Note=Localizes to sites of double-strand breaks (DSBs) following DNA damage. Recruited to DSBs via recognition of RNF168-dependent ubiquitin products.
Similarity:
Belongs to the RNF169 family.
Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.
