Slx5-Slx8 SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
The Slx5-Slx8 complex is a heterodimeric ubiquitin ligase (E3) that recognizes sumoylated proteins and causes the transfer of ubiquitin from an E2 to its target, attaching polyubiquitin chains to it. The complex has DNA-binding activity and is involved in various cellular processes, including targeting poly-sumoylated proteins for degradation; DNA damage repair and genome stability. The complex is localized to the nucleus and has been implicated in protein quality control of nuclear proteins.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
