CDL1 complex, CRL1 complex, Cul1-RING ubiquitin ligase complex, SCF complex, Skp1/Cul1/F-box protein complex, cullin-RING ligase 1

Description

A ubiquitin ligase complex in which a cullin from the Cul1 subfamily and a RING domain protein form the catalytic core; substrate specificity is conferred by a Skp1 adaptor and an F-box protein. SCF complexes are involved in targeting proteins for degradation by the proteasome. The best characterized complexes are those from yeast and mammals (with core subunits named Cdc53/Cul1, Rbx1/Hrt1/Roc1).
