Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila Slimb (Slmb) gene encodes a Skp1-Cul1-F-box (SCP) E3 ubiquitin ligase orthologous to the human β-TrCP/BTRC protein. Slmb and/or BTRC play regulatory roles in numerous biological processes by ubiquitinating several substrate proteins which are then targeted for proteasomal degradation. Here, we demonstrate an additional role for Slmb in maintaining cellular copper homeostasis. In the thorax, midgut...
