Function: Exhibits weak E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity (PubMed:18591963, PubMed:19407830, PubMed:22410793). E3 ubiquitin ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfer the ubiquitin to targeted substrates (PubMed:18591963, PubMed:19407830, PubMed:22410793). Can ubiquitinate AKT1 preferentially at 'Lys-284' involving 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination and seems to be involved in regulation of Akt signaling by targeting phosphorylated Akt to proteosomal degradation (PubMed:22410793). Mediates polyubiquitination of cytoplasmic TP53 at 'Lys-24' which targets TP53 for proteasomal degradation, thus reducing TP53 levels in the cytoplasm and mitochondrion (PubMed:21597459). Proposed to preferentially act as a SUMO E3 ligase at physiological concentrations (PubMed:19407830). Plays a role in the control of mitochondrial morphology by promoting mitochondrial fragmentation, and influences mitochondrial localization (PubMed:19407830, PubMed:18207745, PubMed:18213395). Likely to promote mitochondrial fission through negatively regulating the mitochondrial fusion proteins MFN1 and MFN2, acting in a pathway that is parallel to the PRKN/PINK1 regulatory pathway (PubMed:24898855). May also be involved in the sumoylation of the membrane fission protein DNM1L (PubMed:18207745, PubMed:19407830). Inhibits cell growth (PubMed:18591963, PubMed:22410793). When overexpressed, activates JNK through MAP3K7/TAK1 and induces caspase-dependent apoptosis (PubMed:23399697). Involved in the modulation of innate immune defense against viruses by inhibiting DDX58-dependent antiviral response (PubMed:23399697). Can mediate DDX58 sumoylation and disrupt its polyubiquitination (PubMed:23399697). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18207745, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18213395, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18591963, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19407830, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22410793, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23399697, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24898855}.

Subunit: Homooligomer (PubMed:18591963). Interacts with MAP3K7/TAK1 (PubMed:18591963). Interacts with UBC9 (PubMed:19407830). Interacts with and sumoylates DNM1L (PubMed:19407830). Interacts with MAVS (PubMed:23399697). Interacts with TP53 (via N-terminus); the interaction leads to ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of TP53 (PubMed:21597459). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18591963, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19407830, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21597459, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23399697}.
