Comments
  • FUNCTION: Core component of multiple cullin-RING-based BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes which mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. As a scaffold protein may contribute to catalysis through positioning of the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity of the complex is dependent on the neddylation of the cullin subunit and is inhibited by the association of the deneddylated cullin subunit with TIP120A/CAND1 (By similarity). The functional specificity of the BCR complex depends on the BTB domain-containing protein as the susbstrate recognition component. BCR(SPOP) is involved in ubiquitination of BMI1/PCGF4, H2AFY and DAXX, and probably GLI2 or GLI3. BCR(KLHL9-KLHL13) controls the dynamic behavior of AURKB on mitotic chromosomes and thereby coordinates faithful mitotic progression and completion of cytokinesis. Involved in ubiquitination of cyclin E and of cyclin D1 (in vitro) thus involved in regulation of G1/S transition.
  • PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
  • SUBUNIT: Forms neddylation-dependent homodimers. Component of multiple BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes formed of CUL3, RBX1 and a variable BTB domain-containing protein acting as both, adapter to cullin and substrate recognition subunit. The BCR complex may be active as a heterodimeric complex, in which NEDD8, covalently attached to one CUL3 molecule, binds to the C-terminus of a second CUL3 molecule. Interacts with RBX1, RNF7, CYCE and TIP120A/CAND1. Part of the BCR(SPOP) containing SPOP. Part of the probable BCR(KLHL9-KLHL13) complex with BTB domain proteins KLHL9 and KLHL13. Part of the BCR(KBTBD10) complex containing KBTBD10. Part of the BCR(ENC1) complex containing ENC1. Part of a complex consisting of BMI1/PCGF4, CUL3 and SPOP. Part of a complex consisting of H2AFY, CUL3 and SPOP. Interacts with KLHL9, KLHL13, GAN, ZBTB16, KLHL21, KLHL3, KLHL15, KLHL20, C16orf44, GMCL1L, BTBD1. Part of a complex that contains CUL3, RBX1 and GAN.
  • INTERACTION:
    Q86VP6:CAND1; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-456129, EBI-456077;
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Golgi apparatus.
  • ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 3 named isoforms [FASTA] produced by alternative splicing.
