Secondary Information

Protein Function The ubiquitin ligase RNF8 is known to induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT) transition and metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Besides EMT, Rho GTPases have been shown as key regulators in metastasis.
Biochemical Properties The E3 ligase RNF8 ubiquitylates histone H1 at DSB flanking sites, triggering an orchestrated recruitment of signaling and repair proteins (e.g., the breast cancer susceptibility protein BRCA1) to facilitate the repair of the break sites

Significance of PTMs Autoubiquitination on Lys-48 and 63 of ubiquitin.Polyubiquitination at Lys-29 is also observed, but it doesn't require its own functional RING-type zinc finger.
Additional Comments The E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF8 plays critical roles in maintaining genomic stability by promoting the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) through ubiquitin signaling. Abnormal activation of Notch signaling and defective repair of DSBs promote breast cancer risk.
