Genomic analysis of the TRIM family reveals two groups of genes with distinct evolutionary properties
1 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The TRIM family is composed of multi-domain proteins that display the Tripartite Motif (RING, B-box and Coiled-coil) that can be associated with a C-terminal domain. TRIM genes are involved in ubiquitylation and are implicated in a variety of human pathologies, from Mendelian inherited disorders to cancer, and are also involved in cellular response to viral infection. RESULTS: Here we defined the...
