skr-2 encodes a homolog of Skp1 in S. cerevisiae, a core component of the SCF (Skp1p, Cullin, F-box) ubiquitin-ligase complex that facilitates ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation; SKR-2 is required for the restraint of cell proliferation, progression through the pachytene stage of meiosis, and the formation of bivalent chromosomes at diakinesis; SKR-2::GFP is detected exclusively in the intestine.
Predicted to enable cullin family protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; regulation of cell cycle; and regulation of protein stability. Part of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Expressed in intestine. Is an ortholog of human SKP1 (S-phase kinase associated protein 1).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
