TRIB1

Adapter protein involved in protein degradation by interacting with COP1 ubiquitin ligase. The COP1-binding motif is masked by autoinhibitory interactions with the protein kinase domain. Serves to alter COP1 substrate specificity by directing the activity of COP1 toward CEBPA. Binds selectively the recognition sequence of CEBPA. Regulates myeloid cell differentiation by altering the expression of CEBPA in a COP1-dependent manner (By similarity). Controls macrophage, eosinophil and neutrophil differentiation via the COP1-binding domain (By similarity). Interacts with MAPK kinases and regulates activation of MAP kinases, but has no kinase activity..
