The function of TRIM27 (tripartite motif containing 27, ENSG00000204713) is as follows. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination of various substrates and thereby plays a role in diffent processes including proliferation, innate immunity, apoptosis, immune response or autophagy (PubMed:22829933, PubMed:24144979, PubMed:29688809, PubMed:36111389). Ubiquitinates PIK3C2B and inhibits its activity by mediating the formation of 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains; the function inhibits CD4 T-cell activation. Acts as a regulator of retrograde transport: together with MAGEL2, mediates the formation of 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains at 'Lys-220' of WASHC1, leading to promote endosomal F-actin assembly (PubMed:23452853). Has a transcriptional repressor activity by cooperating with EPC1. Induces apoptosis by activating Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 kinase and also increases caspase-3-like activity independently of mitochondrial events. May function in male germ cell development. Has DNA-binding activity and preferentially bound to double-stranded DNA. Forms a complex with and ubiquitinates the ubiquitin-specific protease USP7, which in turn deubiquitinates RIPK1 resulting in the positive regulation of TNF-induced apoptosis (PubMed:24144979). In addition, acts with USP7 or PTPN11 as an inhibitor of the antiviral signaling pathway by promoting kinase TBK1 ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:26358190, PubMed:29688809). Acts as a negative regulator of NOD2 signaling by mediating ubiquitination of NOD2, promoting its degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:22829933). Alternatively, facilitates mitophagy via stabilization of active TBK1 (PubMed:36111389). Negatively regulates autophagy flux under basal conditions by directly polyubiquitinating ULK1 (PubMed:35670107). During starvation-induced autophagy, catalyzes non-degradative ubiquitination of the kinase STK38L promoting its activation and phosphorylation of ULK1 leading to its ubiquitination and degradation to restrain the amplitude and duration of autophagy (PubMed:35670107). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10976108, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12807881, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22128329, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22829933, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23452853, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24144979, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26358190, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29688809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:35670107, ECO:0000269|PubMed:36111389}.
