Anti-Cullin 5/CUL-5 antibody

Target data

Function

Core component of multiple cullin-5-RING E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes (ECS complexes, also named CRL5 complexes), which mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins (PubMed:11384984, PubMed:15601820, PubMed:21199876, PubMed:21980433, PubMed:23897481, PubMed:25505247, PubMed:27910872, PubMed:32200094, PubMed:33268465, PubMed:38418882). Acts a scaffold protein that contributes to catalysis through positioning of the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (PubMed:11384984, PubMed:15601820, PubMed:33268465). The functional specificity of the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex depends on the variable SOCS box-containing substrate recognition component (PubMed:11384984, PubMed:15601820, PubMed:33268465). Acts as a key regulator of neuron positioning during cortex development: component of various SOCS-containing ECS complexes, such as the ECS(SOCS7) complex, that regulate reelin signaling by mediating ubiquitination and degradation of DAB1 (By similarity). ECS(SOCS1) seems to direct ubiquitination of JAK2 (PubMed:11384984). The ECS(SOCS2) complex mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of phosphorylated EPOR and GHR (PubMed:21980433, PubMed:25505247). The ECS(SPSB3) complex catalyzes ubiquitination of nuclear CGAS (PubMed:38418882). ECS(KLHDC1) complex is part of the DesCEND (destruction via C-end degrons) pathway and mediates ubiquitination and degradation of truncated SELENOS selenoprotein produced by failed UGA/Sec decoding, which ends with a glycine (PubMed:32200094). The ECS(ASB9) complex mediates ubiquitination and degradation of CKB (PubMed:33268465). As part of some ECS complex, promotes 'Lys-11'-linked ubiquitination and degradation of BTRC (PubMed:27910872). As part of a multisubunit ECS complex, polyubiquitinates monoubiquitinated POLR2A (PubMed:19920177). May form a cell surface vasopressin receptor (PubMed:9037604). (Microbial infection) Following infection by HIV-1 virus, CUL5 associates with HIV-1 Vif proteins and forms a cullin-5-RING E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (ECS complex) that catalyzes ubiquitination and degradation of APOBEC3F and APOBEC3G (PubMed:16636053, PubMed:22190037). The complex can also ubiquitinate APOBEC3H to some extent (PubMed:37640699). (Microbial infection) Seems to be involved in proteasomal degradation of p53/TP53 stimulated by adenovirus E1B-55 kDa protein.
