SOCS (suppressors of cytokine signaling) box of ASB3-like proteins. ASB family members have a C-terminal SOCS box and an N-terminal ankyrin-related sequence. ABS3 has been shown to be negative regulator of TNF-R2-mediated cellular responses to TNF-alpha by direct targeting of tumor necrosis factor receptor II (TNF-R2) for ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation. The general function of the SOCS box is the recruitment of the ubiquitin-transferase system. The SOCS box interacts with Elongins B and C, Cullin-5 or Cullin-2, Rbx-1, and E2. Therefore, SOCS-box-containing proteins probably function as E3 ubiquitin ligases and mediate the degradation of proteins associated through their N-terminal regions.
