ANKYRIN REPEAT- AND SOCS BOX-CONTAINING PROTEIN 6; ASB6

HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: ASB6

Cytogenetic location: 9q34.11 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38) : 9:129,634,605-129,642,151 (from NCBI)

TEXT

Description

Proteins of the ASB family, such as ASB6, contain central tandem ankyrin (see 612641) repeats and a C-terminal suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) box. SOCS box proteins are predicted to be involved in protein degradation by acting as a bridge between substrate proteins and E3 ubiquitin protein ligases (see 601623) (review by Kile et al., 2002).

Cloning and Expression

Kile et al. (2001) showed that the deduced 418-amino acid mouse Asb6 protein has 8 tandem ankyrin repeats and a C-terminal SOCS box.

Gene Function

Kohroki et al. (2005) found that epitope-tagged ASB6 and several other ASB family members interacted with endogenous CUL5 (601741) and RBX2 (RNF7; 603863) in immunoprecipitated HEK293 cells. The ASB proteins did not interact with CUL2 (603135) or RBX1 (603814).

Mapping

Hartz (2013) mapped the ASB6 gene to chromosome 9q34.11 based on an alignment of the ASB6 sequence (GenBank AK000555) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37).
