E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that plays a key role in innate antiviral immunity by mediating ubiquitination of CGAS and STING1 (PubMed:21289118, PubMed:29426904). In response to pathogen- and host-derived double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), targets STING1 to 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination, thereby promoting its homodimerization, a step required for the production of type I interferon IFN-beta (By similarity). Also mediate monoubiquitination of CGAS, thereby promoting CGAS oligomerization and subsequent activation (PubMed:29426904). Independently of its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, positive regulator of TLR3 signaling. Potentiates extracellular double stranded RNA (dsRNA)-induced expression of IFNB1 and interferon-stimulated genes ISG15, IFIT1/ISG56, CXCL10, OASL and CCL5/RANTES (PubMed:22948160). Promotes establishment of an antiviral state by TLR3 ligand and TLR3-mediated chemokine induction following infection by hepatitis C virus (PubMed:22948160). S-ubiquitinyl-[E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-lysine = [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + N(6)-ubiquitinyl-[acceptor protein]-L-lysine. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. Homooligomer. Interacts with STING1 (By similarity). Interacts with TICAM1 (PubMed:22948160). Widely expressed (at protein level). Up-regulated by IFN-alpha. Autoubiquitinated. Belongs to the TRIM/RBCC family. Extended N-terminus. Truncated N-terminus.
