Tripartite motif containing protein 37 (TRIM37) family, MATH domain; TRIM37 is a peroxisomal protein and is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) protein subfamily, also known as the RING-B-box-coiled-coil (RBCC) subfamily of zinc-finger proteins. Mutations in the human TRIM37 gene (also known as MUL) cause Mulibrey (muscle-liver-brain-eye) nanism, a rare growth disorder of prenatal onset characterized by dysmorphic features, pericardial constriction and hepatomegaly. TRIM37, similar to other TRIMs, contains a cysteine-rich, zinc-binding RING-finger domain followed by another cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain, the B-box, and a coiled-coil domain. TRIM37 is autoubiquitinated in a RING domain-dependent manner, indicating that it functions as an ubiquitin E3 ligase. In addition to the tripartite motif, TRIM37 also contains a MATH domain C-terminal to the coiled-coil domain. The MATH domain of TRIM37 has been shown to interact with the TRAF domain of six known TRAFs in vitro, however, it is unclear whether this is physiologically relevant. Eleven TRIM37 mutations have been associated with Mulibrey nanism so far. One mutation, Gly322Val, is located in the MATH domain and is the only mutation that does not affect the length of the protein. It results in the incorrect subcellular localization of TRIM37.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
