PHD finger found in F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 19 (FBXL19) FBXL19, also termed F-box/LRR-repeat protein 19, is a novel homolog of KDM2A and KDM2B. It belongs to the Skp1-Cullin-F-box (SCF) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases. FBXL19 mediates ubiquitination and interleukin 33 (IL-33)-induced degradation of ST2L receptor in lung epithelia, blocks IL-33-mediated apoptosis, and prevents endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. It also functions as a RhoA antagonist during cell proliferation and cytoskeleton rearrangement, and regulates RhoA ubiquitination and degradation in lung epithelial cells. Moreover, FBXL19 regulates cell migration by targeting Rac1 for its polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. It plays an essential role in regulating TGFbeta1-induced E-cadherin down-regulation by mediating Rac3 site-specific ubiquitination and stability. FBXL19 consists of FBXHA and FBXHB domains. A CXXC zinc-finger domain, followed by a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, is located within the FBXHA domain, and an F-box domain, followed by an antagonist of mitotic exit network protein 1 (AMN1) domain, is located within the FBXHB domain.
