Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; negative regulation of cellular response to manganese ion; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in several cellular components, including mitochondrial outer membrane; striated muscle dense body; and synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including hermaphrodite gonad; hypodermis; intestine; muscle cell; and nervous system. Orthologous to human DCAF11 (DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 11).

Nuclear and cytoplasmic WDR-23 isoforms mediate differential effects on GEN-1 and SKN-1 substrates.
Title: Nuclear and cytoplasmic WDR-23 isoforms mediate differential effects on GEN-1 and SKN-1 substrates.
We propose that WDR-23 and SKN-1 coordinate with the BLI-3/TSP-15/DOXA-1 dual oxidase complex in response to iodide-triggered oxidative stress.
Title: WDR-23 and SKN-1/Nrf2 Coordinate with the BLI-3 Dual Oxidase in Response to Iodide-Triggered Oxidative Stress.
we identify and confirm the mutations in xrep-2, xrep-3, and xrep-4 The xrep-2 gene is alh-6, an ortholog of a human gene mutated in familial hyperprolinemia. The xrep-3 mutation is a gain-of-function allele of skn-1 The xrep-4 gene is F46F11.6, which encodes a F-box-containing protein. We demonstrate that xrep-4 alters the stability of WDR-23 (xrep-1), a key regulator of SKN-1 (xrep-3).
Title: A Genetic Analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans Detoxification Response.
a missense mutation in the conserved XREP-4 F-box domain that reduces interaction with SKR-1 but not WDR-23 strongly attenuates SKN-1-dependent gene activation. These results are consistent with XREP-4 influencing the SKN-1 stress response by functioning as a bridge between WDR-23 and the ubiquitin ligase component SKR-1.
Title: F-Box Protein XREP-4 Is a New Regulator of the Oxidative Stress Response in Caenorhabditis elegans.
ur results identify WDR23 as an alternative regulator of NRF2 proteostasis and uncover a cellular pathway that regulates NRF2 activity and capacity for cytoprotection independently of KEAP1.
Title: WDR23 regulates NRF2 independently of KEAP1.
We also show that SKR-1/2 functions upstream of the WD40 repeat protein WDR-23, which binds to and inhibits SKN-1. Together, these results identify a novel p38 MAPK independent signaling mechanism that activates SKN-1 via SKR-1/2 and involves WDR-23.
Title: The Skp1 Homologs SKR-1/2 Are Required for the Caenorhabditis elegans SKN-1 Antioxidant/Detoxification Response Independently of p38 MAPK.
diverse wdr-23 phenotypes are dependent on SKN-1; beneficial and detrimental phenotypes of wdr-23 and skn-1 can be partially decoupled; SKN-1 activation delays degenerative tissue changes during aging
Title: Characterization of skn-1/wdr-23 phenotypes in Caenorhabditis elegans; pleiotrophy, aging, glutathione, and interactions with other longevity pathways.
Data show that SKN-1 protein levels, nuclear accumulation, and activity are repressed by the WD40 repeat protein WDR-23, which interacts with the CUL-4/DDB-1 ubiquitin ligase to presumably target the transcription factor for proteasomal degradation.
Title: The WD40 repeat protein WDR-23 functions with the CUL4/DDB1 ubiquitin ligase to regulate nuclear abundance and activity of SKN-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans.
