SSB Proteins and Enzymes

Members of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family of proteins contain C-terminal regions of homology called the SOCS box, which serves to couple SOCS proteins and their binding partners with the Elongin B and C complex, thereby mediating protein degradation. Several other families of proteins also contain SOCS boxes, but differ from the SOCS proteins in the type of domain they contain upstream of the SOCS box. SSB-2 (SplA/ryanodine (SPRY) receptor domain-containing SOCS box protein ...
