Cullins are a family of hydrophobic

ubiquitination.[1][2]

The human genome contains eight cullin genes

There is also a more distant member called ANAPC2 (or APC2), part of the Anaphase-promoting complex.

CUL1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 5 and 7 each form part of a multi-subunit ubiquitin complex.

Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases

Cullin-RING ubiquitin

interact with specific adaptor proteins.[4][5][6]

Modification by NEDD8

With the exception of ANAPC2, each member of the cullin family is modified by

covalent conjugation of a Nedd8 moiety onto a conserved cullin lysine residue.[7]
