SOCS6 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 6)
Author
Summary, in English
The suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family of proteins are well known negative regulators of cytokine receptors signaling consisting of eight structurally similar proteins, SOCS1-7 and CIS. A key feature of this family of proteins is the presence of two structural motifs: a centrally located SH2 domain and a SOCS box in the C-terminus. The SOCS box mediates the interaction with the Elongins B and C complex while an additional motif mediates its interaction with Cullin 5 to assemble a Cullin/Ring ubiquitin ligase. In this complex SOCS6 acts as a substrate recognition subunit through interactions mediated by the N-terminus and the SH2 domain. SOCS6 interacts with tyrosine kinase receptors FLT3 and c-KIT and modulate their ubiquitination and function.
