F-box domain found in uncharacterized F-box protein group similar to F-box only protein 3 (FBXO3)
This subfamily corresponds to a group of uncharacterized F-box proteins which show sequence similarity to F-box only protein 3 (FBXO3). FBXO3, also called FBX3, is the substrate-recognition component of an SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, that mediates the ubiquitination of HIPK2 and probably that of EP300, leading to rapid degradation by the proteasome. It also promotes ubiquitylation and transcriptional activity of AIRE (autoimmune regulator). The F-box domain has a role in mediating protein-protein interactions in a variety of contexts, such as polyubiquitination, transcription elongation, centromere binding and translational repression.
Feature 1:putative Skp1 binding site [polypeptide binding site]
Evidence:
Comment:based on the structure evidences that other F-box superfamily members interact with Skp1
Comment:F-box proteins participate in SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein) complexes that function as ubiquitin E3 ligases, where the role of the F-box protein is to recruit target substrates.
