S-phase kinase-associated protein 1 (SKP1)

The protein contains 163 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 18658 Da.

 

Essential component of the SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) ubiquitin ligase complex, which mediates the ubiquitination of proteins involved in cell cycle progression, signal transduction and transcription. In the SCF complex, serves as an adapter that links the F-box protein to CUL1. The functional specificity of the SCF complex depends on the F-box protein as substrate recognition component. SCF(BTRC) and SCF(FBXW11) direct ubiquitination of CTNNB1 and participate in Wnt signaling. SCF(FBXW11) directs ubiquitination of phosphorylated NFKBIA. SCF(BTRC) directs ubiquitination of NFKBIB, NFKBIE, ATF4, SMAD3, SMAD4, CDC25A, FBXO5, CEP68 and probably NFKB2 (PubMed:25704143). SCF(SKP2) directs ubiquitination of phosphorylated CDKN1B/p27kip and is involved in regulation of G1/S transition. SCF(SKP2) directs ubiquitination of ORC1, CDT1, RBL2, ELF4, CDKN1A, RAG2, FOXO1A, and probably MYC and TAL1. SCF(FBXW7) directs ubiquitination of cyclin E, NOTCH1 released notch intracellular domain (NICD), and probably PSEN1. SCF(FBXW2) directs ubiquitination of GCM1. SCF(FBXO32) directs ubiquitination of MYOD1. SCF(FBXO7) directs ubiquitination of BIRC2 and DLGAP5. SCF(FBXO33) directs ubiquitination of YBX1. SCF(FBXO11) directs ubiquitination of BCL6 and DTL but does not seem to direct ubiquitination of TP53. SCF(BTRC) mediates the ubiquitination of NFKBIA at 'Lys-21' and 'Lys-22'; the degradation frees the associated NFKB1-RELA dimer to translocate into the nucleus and to activate transcription (updated: Jan. 31, 2018)

CLONING

Chen et al. (1995) cloned the gene encoding OCP2 from a guinea pig organ of Corti cDNA library. They reported significant sequence similarity with TCEB1 (600788), a subunit of transcription factor SIII (or elongin) that regulates the activity of the RNA polymerase II elongation complex. Immunohistochemical staining by Chen et al. (1995) confirmed that OCP2 is localized abundantly in nonsensory cells in the organ of Corti; in addition, it was detected at a lower concentration in vestibular sensory organs, as well as auditory and vestibular brainstem nuclei. The results suggested that OCP2 may be involved in transcription regulation for the development or maintenance of specialized functions of the inner ear. Sowden et al. (1995) characterized cDNAs isolated from both mouse and human embryo cDNA libraries and designated them Tceb1l and TCEB1L, respectively. Predicted amino acid sequence showed significant homology with TCEB1 (600788), the eukaryotic elongation factor, also called elongin C, which is a component of the SIII elongation complex. The TCEB1L gene is highly conserved throughout vertebrates. The TCEB1L gene showed a restricted pattern of expression in the early mouse embryo, where it is absent from the neurectoderm; later, Tceb1l was expressed in the caudal region of the neural tube, followed by widespread expression in many tissues, including the brain and spinal cord. Zhang et al. (1995) cloned and sequenced the p19/SKP1 gene. Liang et al. (1997) reported that the coding region of OCP2 (TCEB1L) is identical to that of p19.

GENE FUNCTION

Zhang et al. (1995) found that p45/SKP2 (601436) appears to serve as a bridge between p19 and the CDK2 (116953)/cyclin A (123835) complex. Bai et al. (1996) cloned SKP1 and determined that it binds to cyclin F (CCNF; 600227), SKP2, and potentially to other regulatory proteins that may be involved in ubiquitin proteolysis. Binding occurs through a novel motif, termed the F box. The F box contains about 40 residues and, in approximately half of the F-box proteins identified by Bai et al. (1996), it was associated with leucine-rich regions (LRRs), as in SKP2, or with WD40 repeats, as in BTRC (603482). Maniatis (1999) reviewed the work of Winston et al. (1999) and others concerning the SCF (SKP1, CUL1 (603134), F-box protein) ubiquitin ligase complex. CUL1 acts as a scaffold for SKP1 and the F-box-containing BTRC protein in the SCF complex, which regulates the function of nuclear factor kappa-B (see 164011) and beta-catenin (see 116806). Matsuzawa and Reed (2001) elucidated a network of protein interactions in which SIAH1 (602212), SIP (606186), SKP1, and EBI (300196) collaborate in a pathway controlling beta-catenin levels, affecting activity of beta-catenin-dependent TCF (e.g., TCF1; 142410) and LEF (e.g., LEF1; 153245) transcription factors. Dias et al. (2002) found that CUL7 (609577) assembled an SCF-ROC1 (RBX1; 603814)-like E3 ligase complex containing SKP1, CUL7, FBX29 (FBXW8; 609073), and ROC1 in human embryonic kidney cells. CUL7 specifically interacted with SKP1-FBX29, but not with SKP1 alone. CUL7 did not interact with SKP1-beta-TRCP2 (FBXW11; 605651) or SKP1-SKP2. Immunoprecipitated CUL7-ROC1 complexes converted monomeric ubiquitin into high molecular mass ubiquitin conjugates when incubated with E1 (see UBE1C; 603172) and UBC5C (UBE2D3; 602963). Arai et al. (2003) found that mouse Cul7 formed a specific SCF-like complex with Skp1, Fbx29, Rbx1, and Fap68 (GL ... More on the omim web site
