  • Subunit: Component of multiple ECS (Elongin BC-CUL2/5-SOCS-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes formed of CUL2, Elongin BC (TCEB1 and TCEB2), RBX1 and a variable substrate-specific adapter. Component of the ECS(VHL) or CBC(VHL) complex containing VHL. Component of the ECS(MED8) complex with the probable substrate recognition component MED8. Component of the ECS(LRR1) complex with the probable substrate recognition component LRR1. Component of a probable ECS E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex containing CUL2, RBX1, TCEB1, TCEB2 and FEM1B. Part of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex including ZYG11B, CUL2 and Elongin BC. Part of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex including ZYG11BL, CUL2 and Elongin BC. Interacts with RBX1, RNF7, FEM1B and TIP120A/CAND1. Interacts with COPS2, and MED8. Interacts with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) protein NS1. Found in a complex composed of LIMD1, VHL, EGLN1/PHD2, TCEB2 and CUL2. Interacts with KLHDC10; which may be an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex substrate recognition component
  • Function:
    UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary: CUL2_HUMAN, Q13617 Function: Core component of multiple cullin-RING-based ECS (ElonginB/C-CUL2/5-SOCS-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes, which mediate the ubiquitination of target proteins. May serve as a rigid scaffold in the complex and 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 ECS complex depends on the substrate recognition component. ECS(VHL) mediates the ubiquitination of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)
