DESCRIPTION

Also known as RNF5_CAEEL, rnf-5. E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a role in the maintenance of muscle cell boundaries and muscle dense bodies, which establish the adhesion sites of the muscle cells to the extracellular matrix (PubMed:15210732). Ubiquitinates the LIM domain protein unc-95, thereby regulating its dislocalization from muscle dense bodies and weakening the link between the muscle cells and the hypodermis (PubMed:20385102, PubMed:15210732). Regulation of unc-95 dissociation from muscle dense bodies by ubiquitination plays an important role in ecdysis during molting (PubMed:20385102). Plays a role in the cessation of distal tip cell migration at the end of larval morphogenesis (PubMed:22285439).
