Talk:RING finger domain

Untitled
I just moved the acronym into the first sentence, along with the refs. Richard☺Decal (talk) 17:32, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know, think it was better with the acronym further down. RING doesn't really mean anything or add to anyone's understanding - It just makes things more confusing. Abergabe (talk) 22:16, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback, I'm new to Wikipedia. I thought that the first line of articles were supposed to give its full name even if it is commonly known by its abbreviation? e.g. DED or APC2. Richard☺Decal (talk) 23:30, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I checked the lead section style guide and it looks like the convention is to define the abbreviation in the lead sentence. Richard☺Decal (talk) 23:42, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * But the fifth and final rule of wikipedia is to break the rules =P If it were anything with a useful acronym, I would entirely agree with you, but where the acronym is really just a matter of trivia, it just seems messy to put it in the opening. Abergabe (talk) 09:04, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I think this might read better, what do you think? Abergabe (talk) 11:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I prefer to have the current style of RING (realling interesting new gene) finger domain in this case. But thanks Richard☺Decal for working on these pages. We appreciate help from new people :) Alexbateman (talk) 12:20, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that the new version is much better. I didn't know how tightly we are supposed to follow convention. Richard☺Decal (talk) 18:02, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

I just added the WikiProject Cell Signaling banner to this page. I think that the RING finger domain can have a section (such as its function) dedicated to how it works mechanically in the signaling pathway, especially in regards to ubiquitin. MChapman5 (talk) 05:43, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Schematic
Is a non-ASCII art schematic available? Intelligent  sium  16:09, 3 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I'll hopefully get onto making something. Because I find ASCII art charmingly anachronistic, I'll paste it below for the record. T.Shafee(Evo &#38; Evo)talk 05:33, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
