skr-9 encodes a homolog of Skp1 in S. cerevisiae, a component of the SCF (Skp1, Cullin, F-box) ubiquitin-ligase complex that regulates ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation; SKR-9 is required for posterior body morphogenesis, embryonic and larval development, and postembryonic cell proliferation.
Predicted to enable cullin family protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. 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.
