Abstract:The AML1/core binding factor  (CBF) transcription factor is essential for definitive hematopoiesis; however, the downstream pathways through which it functions remain incompletely defined. Using a differential cloning approach to define components of this pathway, we have identified a novel gene designated HERF1 (for hematopoietic RING finger 1), whose expression during development is dependent on the presence of functional AML1/CBF. HERF1 contains a tripartite RING finger-B box-␣-helical coiled-coil domain… Show more
“…It has been shown that TRIM10/HERF1 expression increases dramatically in MEL cells following treatment with DMSO [1]. To determine if this enhanced expression is a direct effect of DMSO or the result of an erythroid differentiation program activated by a differentiation inducer, we measured the change in TRIM10/HERF1 steady-state mRNA expression levels in two different spleen-focus forming virus (SFFV)-MEL cell lines following treatment with either of the chemical inducers (DMSO or hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA)) or the physiological inducer erythropoietin (EPO) ( Figure 1A).…”

“…Knowing that TRIM10/HERF1 upregulation during terminal erythroid differentiation induces globin gene expression [1], we aimed to determine if TRIM10/HERF1 expression also modulates the erythroid splicing of exon 16. MEL cell clones stably transfected with a tetracycline (Tet)-inducible vector expressing sense TRIM10/HERF1 RNA (HERF(+) cells) were tested for their ability to regulate exon 16 splicing.…”

“…Harada and colleagues [1] have shown that TRIM10/HERF1 increase is required for terminal differentiation of erythroid cells based on their ability to produce hemoglobin. Here, we demonstrated that this factor is also crucial for another late erythroid-specific event, the regulated splicing of exon 16 on 4.1R pre-mRNA.…”

“…Hematopoietic RING finger 1 (HERF1) was originally described as a downstream component of a regulatory cascade initiated by AML1/core binding factor (CBFβ) [1], a transcription factor complex essential for the formation of the definitive hematopoietic system [2,3]. Additionally, HERF1 was independently identified by a comprehensive genomics approach as TRIM10, a member of the N-terminal RING finger/B-box/coiled coil (RBCC) or tripartite motif (TRIM) family of proteins ( [4][5][6] and references therein).…”

“…Conversely, inhibition of TRIM10/HERF1 expression blocks hemoglobin production in MEL cells, even in the presence of DMSO, suggesting that TRIM10/HERF1 must play a key role in definitive erythroid development [1]. Insertion of the Friend viral genome upstream of the Spi-1/PU.1 locus in MEL cells leads to constitutive upregulation of the Spi-1/PU.1 gene, uncontrolled proliferation, and a subsequent block in the differentiation of the affected erythroblasts [8,9].…”

The TRIM/RBCC proteins are defined by the presence of the tripartite motif composed of a RING domain, one or two B-box motifs and a coiled-coil region. These proteins are involved in a plethora of cellular processes such as apoptosis, cell cycle regulation and viral response. Consistently, their alteration results in many diverse pathological conditions. The highly conserved modular structure of these proteins suggests that a common biochemical function may underlie their assorted cellular roles. Here, we review recent data indicating that some TRIM/RBCC proteins are implicated in ubiquitination and propose that this large protein family represents a novel class of 'single protein RING finger' ubiquitin E3 ligases.
The type I interferon (IFN‐I) system is important for antiviral and anticancer immunity. Prolonged activation of IFN/JAK/STAT signaling is closely associated with autoimmune diseases. TRIM10 dysfunction may be associated closely with certain autoimmune disorders. Here, we observed that the serum TRIM10 protein level is lower in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus than in healthy control subjects. We speculated the possible involvement of TRIM10‐induced modulation of the IFN/JAK/STAT signaling pathway in systemic lupus erythematosus. In line with our hypothesis, TRIM10 inhibited the activation of JAK/STAT signaling pathway triggered by various stimuli. TRIM10 restricted the IFN‐I/JAK/STAT signaling pathway, which was independent of its E3 ligase activity. Mechanistically, TRIM10 interacted with the intracellular domain of IFNAR1 and blocked the association of IFNAR1 with TYK2. These data suggest the possible TRIM10 suppresses IFN/JAK/STAT signaling pathway through blocking the interaction between IFNAR1 and TYK2. Targeting TRIM10 is a potential strategy for treating autoimmune diseases.
