Contributes to the neddylation of all cullins by transferring NEDD8 from N-terminally acetylated NEDD8-conjugating E2s enzyme to different cullin C-terminal domain-RBX complexes which is necessary for the activation of cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) (PubMed:19617556, PubMed:23201271, PubMed:26906416). May play a role in DNA damage response and may participate in cell proliferation and anchorage-independent cell growth (PubMed:23098533, PubMed:24192928).
