background:
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase component of the LUBAC complex which conjugates linear polyubiquitin chains in a head-to-tail manner to substrates and plays a key role in NF-kappa-B activation and regulation of inflammation. LUBAC conjugates linear polyubiquitin to IKBKG and RIPK1 and is involved in activation of the canonical NF-kappa-B and the JNK signaling pathways. Linear ubiquitination mediated by the LUBAC complex interferes with TNF-induced cell death and thereby prevents inflammation. LUBAC is proposed to be recruited to the TNF-R1 signaling complex (TNF-RSC) following polyubiquitination of TNF-RSC components by BIRC2 and/or BIRC3 and to conjugate linear polyubiquitin to IKBKG and possibly other components contributing to the stability of the complex. Binds polyubiquitin of different linkage types.
Function:
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase component of the LUBAC complex which conjugates linear ('M-1'-linked) polyubiquitin chains to substrates and plays a key role in NF-kappa-B activation and regulation of inflammation. LUBAC conjugates linear polyubiquitin to IKBKG and RIPK1 and is involved in activation of the canonical NF-kappa-B and the JNK signaling pathways.

Binds polyubiquitin of different linkage types.
Subunit:
Interacts with MUSK. Component of the LUBAC complex (linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex) which consists of SHARPIN, RBCK1 and RNF31. LUBAC has a MW of approximative 600 kDa suggesting a heteromultimeric assembly of its subunits. Associates with the TNF-R1 signaling complex (TNF-RSC) in a stimulation-dependent manner.
Contains 1 UBA domain.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in both normal and transformed breast epithelial cell lines.
Similarity:
Contains 1 IBR-type zinc finger.
Contains 3 RanBP2-type zinc fingers.
Contains 2 RING-type zinc fingers.
Contains 1 UBA domain.
