I just moved the acronym into the first sentence, along with the refs.

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.

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.

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.

I think this might read better, what do you think?

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 :)

I agree that the new version is much better. I didn't know how tightly we are supposed to follow convention.

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.

Schematic
Is a non-ASCII art schematic available? Intelligentsium 16:09, 3 November 2016 (UTC)reply
@
Intelligentsium: I'll hopefully get onto making something. Because I find ASCII art charmingly anachronistic, I'll paste it below for the record.
