Rabring7 (RNF115) associates with EGFR through its ubiquitin-binding zinc finger domain; promotes EGFR ubiquitination and lysosomal degradation; functions downstream of c-Cbl (binding is reduced in c-Cbl-deficient cells or cells expressing Cbl-70Z); depletion retains EGFR in a late endocytic compartment; also regulates MET degradation and CXCR4 sorting; depletion destabilizes ESCRT-II and reduces multivesicular body formation. |

AKT1-phosphorylated RNF115 is chaperoned by 14-3-3 proteins to localize on the ER and Golgi apparatus, where it interacts with RAB1A and RAB13, catalyzing K11-linked ubiquitination at Lys49/Lys61 of RAB1A and Lys46/Lys58 of RAB13; this modification impairs GDI1 recruitment to these RAB proteins, blocking GDP-dissociation and impairing post-ER and post-Golgi TLR trafficking. |
