    basic FUNCTION
  • interacting with HIV1 Vpu to trigger the destruction of CD4 in the endoplasmic reticulum
  • functioning in multiple transcriptional programs by activating the NF-kappaB pathway and inhibiting the beta-catenin pathway,specific determinant for the signal-induced ubiquitination of I kappa B (NFKBIA)
  • ubiquitin conjugating enzyme and substrate recognition subunit of SCF ubiquitin protein ligase complex
  • specificity determinant for the signal-induced ubiquitanation of CHUK (IkappaB kinase-alpha)
  • HIV-1 Vpu protein interacts with CD4 within the endoplasmic reticula of infected cells and targets CD4 for degradation through interaction with BTRC
  • dispensable for the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus
  • BTRC and FBXW11 were involved in the cell autonomous circadian rhythm generation in culture cells
  • potential role in regulating the eventual ratio of resulting differentiated retinal cell types
  • E3 ligase that targets various substrates essential for many aspects of tumorigenesis
  • may be an essential player in UVB induced responses in skin and can be a potential therapeutic target for skin cancer
  • is required for internalisation of the growth hormone receptor (GHR) and acts via a direct interaction with the ubiquitin-dependent endocytosis motif
  • controls GH receptor degradation via two different motifs, the UbE motif in the cytoplasmic tail of the GHR and a downstream degron, DSGRTS
  • directs the conjugation of ubiquitin to a variety of substrate proteins, leading to the destruction of the substrate by the proteasome
  • BTRC, FBXW7, FBXL14, FBXO45, FBXL5, FBXO11 play in controlling EMT during development and cancer progression, a process dependent on post-translational modifications that govern their interaction with target proteins
  • BTRC and FBXW11 regulates the transition from mitosis to meiosis in male germ cells by targeting DMRT1 for degradation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, degradation
    protein, ubiquitin dependent proteolysis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    NFKB, WNT and hedgehog signaling pathway
    a component one of the four subunits of the E3 ubiquitin protein ligase complex:(SCF) with SKP1/CDC53,CUL1,RBX1,F-box protein (BTRC) bringing ubiquitin conjugating enzymes to substrates recruited by F-box
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • HIV1Vpu (NFKBIA)
  • phosphorylated I kappa B alpha
  • pro-caspase-3 appears to be a substrate of SAG/ROC-SCF(BTRC) E3 Ub ligase, which protects cells from apoptosis through increased apoptosis threshold by reducing the basal level of pro-caspase-3
  • both BTRC and FBXW11 bind specifically to USP47, and point mutations in the TRCP WD-repeat region completely abolished USP47 binding, indicating an E3-substrate-type interaction
  • wild-type BMI1 but not the mutant BMI1 interacts with BTRC
  • interacting with PHLPP1 (cellular localization of BTRC is altered in glioblastoma, resulting in dysregulation of PHLPP1 and other substrates such as beta-catenin)
  • in the nucleus, BTRC promotes the degradation of NRF1 by catalyzing its polyubiquitination
  • both BTRC- and SYVN1-dependent degradation mechanisms regulate the transcriptional activity of NRF1 to maintain cellular homeostasis
  • BTRC regulates cell growth and autophagy by controlling the ubiquitination and destruction of DEPTOR, an endogenous mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, in a phosphorylation-dependent manner
  • E3 ligase subunit BTRC interacts with CTTN, and its overexpression reduced cortactin protein levels, an effect attenuated by MAPK1 inhibition
  • BTRC is a novel TERF1-associating protein
  • interacts directly via its WD40 domain with the UbE (ubiquitin-dependent endocytosis) motif in GHR, promoting GHR ubiquitination
  • BTRC-mediated regulation of OIP5 stability is a mechanism to restrict centromere function of OIP5 complex from late mitosis to early G1 phase
  • during the G2 phase of the cell division cycle, TFAP4 is targeted for proteasome-dependent degradation by the BTRC ubiquitin ligase
  • BHLHE40 is a highly unstable protein that is targeted for proteasome-dependent degradation by the BTRC ubiquitin ligase in cooperation with CSNK1A1
  • TRIB2 associated-BTRC, RFWD2 and SMURF1 reduced TCF4/CTNNB1 expression, and these effects could be enhanced by TRIB2
  • PPP1R15B is a BTRC substrate, and a Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) specificity subunit that targets the translation initiation factor EIF2S1 to promote the removal of a stress-induced inhibitory phosphorylation and increase cap-dependent translation
  • BTRC-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of liver-enriched transcription factor CREB3L3
  • BTRC interacted with USP33 independently of the classic binding motif for BTRC, and mediated USP33 degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome pathway
  • BTRC and FBXW11 is capable of suppressing oxidative stress-induced CASP3-dependent apoptosis through suppression of MAP3K5, assisting in the organism's ability to maintain homeostasis in an unstable environment
  • TIAM1 regulates PLK4 levels through promoting BTRC-mediated degradation independently of RAC1 activation
