F-box protein and component of SCF ubiquitin ligase complexes; involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolism; readily monoubiquitinated in vitro by SCF-Ubc4 complexes; SCF-Ucc1 regulates level of Cit2 citrate synthase protein to maintain citrate homeostasis, acts as metabolic switch for glyoxylate cycle; UCC1 transcription is downregulated in cells grown on C2-compounds
