DESCRIPTION

Also known as SKP1_YEAST, SKP1, CBF3D. Essential component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) ubiquitin ligase complex, which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins like phosphorylated SIC1. Participates in the attachment of chromosomes to the spindle. Acts as a regulatory component of the centromere DNA-binding protein complex CBF3, which is essential for chromosome segregation and movement of centromeres along microtubules. CBF3 is required for the recruitment of other kinetochore complexes to CEN DNA. It plays a role in the attachment of chromosomes to the spindle and binds selectively to a highly conserved DNA sequence called CDEIII, found in centromeres and in several promoters. The association of CBF3C with CBF3D and SGT1 is required for CBF3C activation and CBF3 assembly. SKP1/CBF3D could retrieve cyclins or cyclin-CDK-like proteins into the kinetochore thus providing cell cycle-regulated kinetochore activity. Involved in the regulation of methionine biosynthesis genes. Facilitates association of CDC53 with CDC4 and of ROY1 with YPT52. Component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes SCF with HRT1, some cullins like CDC53, and some F-box proteins like MET30 CDC4 and SAF1. Interacts with CDC53 and MET30 to form the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex SCF(Met30) which also contains MET4. Forms complex SCF(Cdc4) together with CDC4 and CDC53. Component of the CBF3 complex, which is formed of CBF3A/CBF2, CBF3B/CEP3, CBF3C/CTF13 and CBF3D. Component of the RAVE complex composed of RAV1, RAV2 and SKP1/CBF3D. Interacts with RCY1, ROY1, CBF3D and SGT1.
