  Tripartite Motif Cofactors, a Novel Gene Target for Liver Cancer via Regulating the Immune Cells and Gut Microbiome: A Review
  Author(s): Ifeoma P Okoli*
  
  TRIM, a multi-domain protein associated with N-terminal ring finger E3 ligase and C-terminal plant homeodomain/ bromodomain PHD chromatin interacting module, N-terminal ring finger known as ring B-boxes and coiled-coil RBCC domain with structure that underscores biochemical reaction which requires enzymes like E1, E2 and E3 of which E3 serves as receptor recognition for target proteins. Most TRIM proteins are E3 ligases in the ubiquitination cascade that translated in diverse physiological and biological processes such as differentiation, growth, transcription and oncogenesis. Implicated in pathological processes from Mendelian inherited disorders, cellular (plethora) processes like cell cycle regulation, innate immune response and apoptosis to cancer. Genetic factors are at high risk and contributed between 30%-50% disease prevalence like obesity, cirrhosis. TRIM28 (TIF1β), TRIM.. View more»
