Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

TRIM22 is an interferon- and p53-inducible RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase that acts as a broad antiviral restriction factor and, in non-viral settings, as a regulator of NF-κB, MAPK/AKT, and autophagy signaling (PMID:15064739, PMID:18656448, PMID:32814880). As an E3 ligase it self-ubiquitylates in vitro with the E2 UbcH5B through its RING domain and is itself degraded by the proteasome (PMID:18656448). Against viruses it engages diverse viral proteins—typically via its C-terminal SPRY/B30.2 domain—and targets them for RING-dependent ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, including influenza A NP (PMID:23408607), Zika NS1/NS3 (PMID:36042495), and SARS-CoV-2 NSP8 (K48-linked at Lys97) (PMID:38275298), while disrupting trafficking of HIV-1 Gag (PMID:18389079) and ubiquitinating the picornaviral 3C protease and HCV NS5A (PMID:19218198, PMID:25683609). TRIM22 also restricts viruses through ligase-independent mechanisms: it silences the HIV-1 LTR by blocking Sp1 occupancy of the promoter (PMID:21345949, PMID:26683615), maintains HIV-1 proviral latency (PMID:31136823), and deposits heterochromatin on HSV-1 immediate-early promoters (PMID:33524065). It additionally amplifies innate signaling by catalyzing K63-linked polyubiquitination of MAVS to drive TBK1/IRF3/IFN-β output (PMID:40162781). In cancer and other non-viral contexts TRIM22 ubiquitinates numerous substrates—NRF2, IκBα, PHLPP2, Raf-1, CCS, β-Catenin—to modulate antioxidant, NF-κB, MAPK, AKT-p53-p21, and senescence programs (PMID:35636015, PMID:32814880, PMID:38199981, PMID:37258577, PMID:39127340, PMID:39978715). Beyond its catalytic activity, TRIM22 serves as an E3-independent scaffold that promotes autophagosome–lysosome fusion by bridging GABARAP-family proteins to PLEKHM1 and nucleates autophagy initiation by assembling ULK1/ATG13/FIP200 and Beclin-1 PI3K complexes through distinct domains (PMID:38009729, PMID:40337095). TRIM22 variants are linked to very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease through disrupted NOD2-dependent signaling (PMID:26836588) and to a familial Alzheimer disease phenotype through impaired autophagic clearance (PMID:38009729). Its own expression is controlled at the promoter by IRF-1 (with BRG1 and p300), p53, progesterone receptor, HOXC8, and ELF3, and is suppressed by HBV via 5'-UTR CpG methylation (PMID:21683060, PMID:23670564, PMID:15064739, PMID:26316153, PMID:41265630, PMID:40162781, PMID:28341749).
