E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM8 (TRIM8)

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that plays different roles in immune pathways. Participates in the activation of interferon- gamma signaling by encouraging proteasomal degradation of the repressor SOCS1 (PubMed:12163497).

Plays a positive part in the TNFalpha and IL-1beta signaling pathways. Mechanistically, induces the'lys-63' polyubiquitination of MAP3K7/TAK1 part resulting in the activation of NF-kappa-B (PubMed:22084099, PubMed:23152791).
