ABSTRACT

Ubiquitination plays important roles in various biological processes and diseases by affecting the subcellular localization, function, and degradation of substrates. Multiple ubiquitin-associated enzymes jointly mediate the binding of ubiquitin to substrates. Over the past few decades, numerous E3 ubiquitin ligases, including RING finger protein 114 (RNF114), have been well studied. Research has revealed the involvement of RNF114 in various biological processes, including embryonic development, the cell cycle, genome stability, the immune response, and osteoclastogenesis. Additionally, RNF114 is implicated in multiple diseases, such as viral infections, psoriasis, liver fibrosis, and cancer. This review recapitulates the most recent advances regarding RNF114 and provides possible directions for future research.
