Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 56438 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including cullin family protein binding activity; ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity; and ubiquitin-like protein ligase activity. Predicted to contribute to ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Involved in several processes, including SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; cellular response to UV; and protein ubiquitination. Acts upstream of or within protein K48-linked ubiquitination; protein catabolic process; and protein monoubiquitination. Located in cytosol. Part of Cul4A-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system. Orthologous to human RBX1 (ring-box 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display embryonic lethality before somite formation with reduced embryo size and decreased cell proliferation. Embryonic fibroblasts from heterozygous mice display decreased cell proliferation and cell cycle abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
