Abstract excerpt
Dorfin, encoded by the RNF19 gene, is a protein containing two RING finger motifs. Dorfin functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that interacts with UBE2L3/UBCH7 and UBE2E2/UBCH8, but not other ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. Dorfin is found expressed in Lewy bodies, neuronal protein inclusions occurring in Parkinson's disease brains. This work reports the cloning and analysis of the porcine (Sus scrofa) homologue of...
