S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2)

Substrate recognition element of a SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F- box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins involved in cell cycle progression, signal transduction and transcription. Degradation of CDKN1B/p27kip also needs CKS1.

Recognizes target proteins ORC1, CDT1, RBL2, KMT2A/MLL1, CDK9, RAG2, FOXO1, UBP43, and likely MYC, TOB1 and TAL1. Degradation of TAL1 also needs STUB1.
