TRIM21 is a member of the [[tripartite motif family|tripartite motif]] (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a [[RING finger domain]], a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2 [[zinc finger]], and a [[coiled coil]] region.<ref name="entrez"/>

== Function ==
| summary_text = This gene encodes a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2, and a coiled-coil region. The encoded protein is part of the RoSSA ribonucleoprotein, which includes a single polypeptide and one of four small RNA molecules. The RoSSA particle localizes to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. RoSSA interacts with autoantigens in patients with Sjogren syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants for this gene have been described but the full-length nature of only one has been determined.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: TRIM21 tripartite motif-containing 21| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=6737| accessdate = }}</ref>

TRIM21 is an intracellular antibody effector in the [[intracellular antibody-mediated proteolysis]] pathway.

Either by [[Ubiquitin|autoubiquitination]] or by ubiquitination of a cofactor, it is then responsible for directing the virions to the [[proteasome]]. TRIM21 itself is not degraded in the proteasome unlike both the viral capsid and the bound antibody.<ref name="pmid21045130">{{cite journal | vauthors = Mallery DL, McEwan WA, Bidgood SR, Towers GJ, Johnson CM, James LC | title = Antibodies mediate intracellular immunity through tripartite motif-containing 21 (TRIM21) | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 107 | issue = 46 | pages = 19985–90 | year = 2010 | pmid = 21045130 | pmc = 2993423 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.1014074107 }}</ref>

RoSSA interacts with autoantigens in patients with [[Sjögren's syndrome]] and [[systemic lupus erythematosus]].<ref name="entrez"/>
 
TRIM21 can be used to knockout specific proteins with their corresponding antibodies, a method known as Trim-Away. In this assay, TRIM21 and  antibodies are delivered into cells through [[electroporation]], and the targeted protein is degraded within a few minutes.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Clift D, McEwan WA, Labzin LI, Konieczny V, Mogessie B, James LC, Schuh M | title = A Method for the Acute and Rapid Degradation of Endogenous Proteins | journal=Cell | doi=10.1016/j.cell.2017.10.033 | }}</ref>

Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 also known as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM21 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRIM21 gene.[1][2] Alternatively spliced transcript variants for this gene have been described but the full-length nature of only one has been determined. It is expressed in most human tissues.[3]

Structure

TRIM21 is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING finger domain, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2 zinc finger, and a coiled coil region.[2]

Function

TRIM21 is an intracellular antibody effector in the intracellular antibody-mediated proteolysis pathway. It recognizes Fc domain[4] and binds to immunoglobulin G as well as immunoglobulin M on antibody marked non-enveloped virions which have infected the cell. Either by autoubiquitination or by ubiquitination of a cofactor, it is then responsible for directing the virions to the proteasome. TRIM21 itself is not degraded in the proteasome unlike both the viral capsid and the bound antibody.[3]

TRIM21 is part of the RoSSA ribonucleoprotein, which includes a single polypeptide and one of four small RNA molecules. The RoSSA particle localizes to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus.[2]

Clinical significance

RoSSA interacts with autoantigens in patients with Sjögren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus.[2]

TRIM21 can be used to knockout specific proteins with their corresponding antibodies, a method known as Trim-Away. In this assay, TRIM21 and antibodies are delivered into cells through electroporation, and the targeted protein is degraded within a few minutes.[5]
