Rfwd3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable MDM2/MDM4 family protein binding activity; p53 binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA metabolic process; regulation of cell cycle phase transition; and response to ionizing radiation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and site of DNA damage. Predicted to colocalize with site of double-strand break. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fanconi anemia complementation group W. Orthologous to human RFWD3 (ring finger and WD repeat domain 3).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Rfwd3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
