RNF31 (RING [Really INteresting Gene] Finger Protein 31; also HOIL-1-interacting protein/HOIP, and Zn in-between-RING-finger ubiquitin-associated domain protein/ZIBRA) is a cytoplasmic E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is found in breast epithelium and multiple cancer types. Although its predicted MW is 102 kDa, it runs anomalously at 95-135 kDa in SDS-Page. Ubiquitin (Ub) chains are typically thought of as 9 kDa additions to Lys residues of target molecules. The activity associated with Ub addition depends upon the location of the attachment, and the monomeric vs. polymeric nature of the chains. Ub can also be added to N-terminal Met residues by an intracellular complex called LUBAC (Linear Ub chain Assembly Complex). This complex is key to NF kappa B pathway activation. Following exposure of cells to cytokines, LUBAC ubiquitinates NEMO, which subsequently induces IKK beta phosphorylation, I kappa B alpha degradation, and NF kappa B translocation into the nucleus with gene activation. The LUBAC complex contains RNF31, HOIL-1L and sharpin, and it is now known that RNF31 is the catalyst for linear Ub chain formation. Human RNF31 is 1072 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains three consecutive RanBP2-type Zn finger domains (aa 299-438), a utilized phosphoryation site at Ser466, one UBA domain (aa 564-615), and two RING-type Zn finger domains (aa 699-747 and 860-909) with an intervening IBR-type Zn finger region (aa 779-841). There are at least two isoform variants, one that contains a 13 aa substitution for aa 1-164, and another that shows a deletion of aa 73-630 coupled to a deletion of aa 833-841. Human RNF31 shares 87% aa sequence identity with mouse RNF31.

Detection of Human HOIP/RNF31 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line, MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, and Raji human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human HOIP/RNF31 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF8039) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for HOIP/RNF31 at approximately 120 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.HOIP/RNF31 in MCF‑7 Human Cell Line.
HOIP/RNF31 was detected in immersion fixed MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line using Sheep Anti-Human HOIP/RNF31 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF8039) at 5 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL010) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

HOIP/RNF31 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human uterus using Sheep Anti-Human HOIP/RNF31 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF8039) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in epithelial cells. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.Detection of HOIP/RNF31 by Western Blot
CYLD is phosphorylated at a novel Ser568 site as well as within the phospho-rich patch to activate its activity(A) Qualitative DUB assay of CYLD (aa 436–956) purified from sf9 cells. CYLD was incubated in buffer alone, or with lambda PP as in Figures 1D and 1E. lambda PP was removed and dephosphorylated CYLD was either incubated with buffer alone (−), IKK beta, or the IKK complex (IKK beta + NEMO) prior to DUB assay using Lys63-Ub4 as substrate.
