Function: Component of a cullin-RING-based BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that mediates the ubiquitination of target proteins, leading most often to their proteasomal degradation. In complex with CUL3, involved in ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of BRMS1, DAXX, PDX1/IPF1, GLI2 and GLI3. In complex with CUL3, involved in ubiquitination of MACROH2A1 and BMI1; this does not lead to their proteasomal degradation. Inhibits transcriptional activation of PDX1/IPF1 targets, such as insulin, by promoting PDX1/IPF1 degradation. The cullin-RING-based BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex containing homodimeric SPOP has higher ubiquitin ligase activity than the complex that contains the heterodimer formed by SPOP and SPOPL. Involved in the regulation of bromodomain and extra-terminal motif (BET) proteins BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 stability (PubMed:32109420). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14528312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15897469, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16524876, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19818708, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22085717, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22632832, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32109420}.

Subunit: Interacts with GLI2 and GLI3 (By similarity). Homodimer and homooligomer. Heterodimer with SPOPL. Each dimer interacts with two CUL3 molecules. Part of cullin-RING-based BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes that contain CUL3 and homodimeric SPOP, or the heterodimer formed by SPOP and SPOPL, plus a target protein, such as MACROH2A1, PDX1/IPF1, BMI1, BRMS1 and DAXX. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14528312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15240113, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15897469, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16524876, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19818708, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22085717, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22632832}.

Disease: Nabais Sa-de Vries syndrome 1 (NSDVS1) [MIM:618828]: An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by global developmental delay, impaired intellectual development, speech delay, and variable behavioral abnormalities. Affected individuals show congenital microcephaly and dysmorphic facial features, including round face, small palpebral fissures, highly arched eyebrows, and short nose. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32109420}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Disease: Nabais Sa-de Vries syndrome 2 (NSDVS2) [MIM:618829]: An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by global developmental delay apparent from birth, impaired intellectual development, speech delay, dysmorphic facial features, and additional anomalies including congenital heart defects, sleep disturbances, hypotonia, and variable endocrine abnormalities. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32109420}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting distinct genetic loci, including the gene represented in this entry.
