S-phase kinase-associated protein 1 (SKP1)

Essential component of the SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) ubiquitin ligase complex, which mediates the ubiquitination of proteins involved in cell cycle progression, signal transduction and transcription. From the SCF complex, serves as an adapter that connects the F-box protein into CUL1.

The functional specificity of the SCF complex is based on the F-box protein as substrate recognition component. SCF(BTRC) directs ubiquitination of NFKBIB, NFKBIE, ATF4, SMAD3, SMAD4, CDC25A, FBXO5, CEP68 and likely NFKB2 (PubMed:25704143).
