Historical Background
The RBR E3 ligase family, comprised of two conserved zinc-binding RING-like domains surrounding a novel zinc-binding motif, was originally identified independently by two research groups. This newly recognized zinc-binding motif was named DRIL (double RING finger linked), as it was exclusively found between two conserved RING-like sequences, and the supradomain was named TRIAD (two RING fingers and a DRIL) (van der Reijden et al. 1999)....
