Background: SCCRO3/DCUN1D3 is proposed to function as a tumor suppressor. However, the mechanisms are not well defined. Results: SCCRO3 inhibits SCCRO-promoted nuclear translocation and neddylation of cullins by sequestering them to the cell membrane. Conclusion: SCCRO3 putatively functions as a tumor suppressor by antagonizing the activity of SCCRO. Significance: Understanding how SCCRO and its family members cooperatively regulate cullin neddylation is important for neddylation-targeted cancer therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
