Summary
ASB7 (ankyrin repeat and SOCS box containing 7, HGNC:17182) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q26.3, encoding Ankyrin repeat and SOCS box protein 7 (Q9H672). Substrate-recognition component of a cullin-5-RING E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (ECS complex, also named CRL5 complex), which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins, such as LZTS1, PSRC1 and SUV39H1.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of ankyrin repeat proteins that, along with four other protein families, contains a C-terminal SOCS box motif. Growing evidence suggests that the SOCS box acts as a bridge between specific substrate-binding domains and the more generic proteins that comprise a large family of E3 ubiquitin protein ligases. In this way, SOCS box containing proteins may regulate protein turnover by targeting proteins for polyubiquination and, therefore, for proteasome-mediated degradation. Two alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Substrate-recognition component of a cullin-5-RING E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (ECS complex, also named CRL5 complex), which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins, such as LZTS1, PSRC1 and SUV39H1. The ECS(ASB7) complex acts as a negative regulator of H3K9me3 histone mark by mediating ubiquitination and degradation of SUV39H1: ASB7 is recruited to heterochromatin by CBX5 (HP1 alpha), where it associates with SUV39H1, promoting the ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated degradation of SUV39H1. During mitosis, ASB7 is phosphorylated and inactivated, allowing SUV39H1 activity. The ECS(ASB7) complex also plays a role in spindle dynamics and genome integrity by targeting the mitotic progression protein PSRC1 for proteasomal degradation in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Also participates in meiosis by mediating the proper attachment between kinetochores and microtubules.
Subunit / interactions. Substrate-recognition component of the ECS(ASB7) complex, composed of ASB7, CUL5, ELOB, ELOC and RNF7/RBX2. Interacts (via PxVxL motif 1) with CBX5 (HP1 alpha); leading to its recruitment to heterochromatin.
Subcellular location. Chromosome. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by CDK1 during mitosis, preventing its association with SUV39H1 substrate.
Domain organisation. The PxVxL motif 1 mediates interaction with CBX5 (HP1 alpha). The SOCS box domain mediates the interaction with the Elongin BC complex, an adapter module in different E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Similarity. Belongs to the ankyrin SOCS box (ASB) family.
