A substrate-recognition component of a ubiquitin ligase that recognizes phosphorylated substrates, including Sic1.
As part of an SCF-type assembly, it links a substrate’s phosphorylation state to ubiquitin-dependent turnover. The recognition step explains why adding phosphate can change protein lifetime without directly destroying the modified protein. [ref]
