RNF2 Gene

HGNC Family Zinc fingers
Name ring finger protein 2
Description Polycomb group (PcG) of proteins form the multiprotein complexes that are important for the transcription repression of various genes involved in development and cell proliferation. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PcG proteins. It has been shown to interact with, and suppress the activity of, transcription factor CP2 (TFCP2/CP2). Studies of the mouse counterpart suggested the involvement of this gene in the specification of anterior-posterior axis, as well as in cell proliferation in early development. This protein was also found to interact with huntingtin interacting protein 2 (HIP2), an ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, and possess ubiquitin ligase activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nRNF2 is a core component of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) that functions primarily as an E3 ubiquitin ligase to monoubiquitinate histone H2A at lysine 119, a modification central to chromatin compaction and transcriptional repression. Structural and biochemical studies have defined how RNF2, in association with partners such as BMI1, stabilizes the interaction with E2 enzymes and nucleosomes; these interactions not only fine‐tune the ligase activity but also delineate the specificity of histone modification that governs developmental gene expression programs and cellular identity."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "5"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn the context of cancer, RNF2 is frequently overexpressed and contributes to tumorigenesis through multiple interrelated mechanisms. Its oncogenic activity is mediated by repressive functions—such as the targeting of tumor suppressors like p53 via enhanced ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation—as well as through transcriptional upregulation of oncogenic drivers independent of its catalytic function. Elevated RNF2 levels, by repressing critical genes (for example, EGR1, TXNIP, and SIK1) or by modulating enhancer activity, support cell proliferation, survival, migration and invasion in a variety of malignancies including breast, prostate, colorectal, head and neck, esophageal, and melanomas. Moreover, microRNAs (e.g., miR-139-5p and miR-149) as well as upstream epigenetic events also modulate RNF2 expression, impacting chemoresistance and the metastatic process."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "6", "end_ref": "17"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its classic role in transcriptional silencing, RNF2 also participates in the cellular response to DNA damage and in the preservation of replication fork integrity. It interacts with various proteins—including components of the proteasome and factors involved in chromatin maintenance—and is itself regulated through post-translational modifications such as auto- and heterologous ubiquitination as well as caspase-mediated cleavage. These regulatory events influence not only its stability but also its ability to engage distinct downstream targets, thereby linking RNF2 function to the control of cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and even metabolic stress responses.
