title: RING for destruction?
abstract: Ubiquitination targets proteins for degradation and is a potent regulator of cellular protein function. Recent results implicate the RING finger domain in specific ubiquitination events; it is possible that all RING proteins act as E3 ubiquitin protein ligases, with implications for a variety of biological areas.
