F-box domain found in F-box/LRR-repeat protein 10 (FBXL10) and similar proteins
FBXL10 is also called lysine-specific demethylase 2B (KDM2B), CXXC-type zinc finger protein 2 (CXXC2), F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 10, F-box protein FBL10, JmjC domain-containing histone demethylation protein 1B (JHDM1B), Jumonji domain-containing EMSY-interactor methyltransferase motif protein, protein JEMMA, protein-containing CXXC domain 2, [Histone-H3]-lysine-36 demethylase 1B, or NDY1. It is a histone demethylase that catalyzes the demethylation of H3K4me3 and H3K36me2, thereby playing a central role in the histone code. It preferentially binds the transcribed region of ribosomal RNA and represses the transcription of ribosomal RNA genes which inhibits cell growth and proliferation. FBXL10 may also serve as the substrate-recognition component of an SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. 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:Skp1 binding site [polypeptide binding site]
Evidence:
Structure:6BVA; Homo sapiens FBXL10 in complex with Skp1, contacts at 4A
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.
