F-box only protein 4 (FBXO4)

The protein contains 387 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 44136 Da.

 

Substrate recognition component of a SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Promotes ubiquitination of CCND1 and its subsequent proteasomal degradation. Recognizes TERF1 and promotes its ubiquitination together with UBE2D1. (updated: March 4, 2015)

DESCRIPTION

Members of the F-box protein family, such as FBXO4, are characterized by an approximately 40-amino acid F-box motif. SCF complexes, formed by SKP1 (601434), cullin (see CUL1; 603134), and F-box proteins, act as protein-ubiquitin ligases. F-box proteins interact with SKP1 through the F box, and they interact with ubiquitination targets through other protein interaction domains (Jin et al., 2004).

CLONING

Using SKP1 as bait in a yeast 2-hybrid screen and by searching DNA databases, Cenciarelli et al. (1999) identified FBXO4, which they designated FBX4. The deduced protein contains an F box in its N-terminal half. Northern blot analysis detected nearly ubiquitous expression of a 4.4-kb FBX4 transcript. Immunofluorescence localization detected epitope-tagged FBX4 in the cytoplasm and nucleus of transfected HeLa cells. By PCR, Winston et al. (1999) found expression of FBX4 in heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, and placenta, but not in brain and skeletal muscle.

GENE FUNCTION

By coexpression and immunoprecipitation in HeLa cells, Cenciarelli et al. (1999) demonstrated that FBX4 interacts with CUL1 and SKP1, but not with CUL2 (603135). The FBX4 F box was required for this interaction. FBX4 supported ubiquitin ligase activity in HeLa cells when cotransfected with CUL1 and SKP1.

MAPPING

By FISH, Chiaur et al. (2000) mapped the FBXO4 gene to chromosome 5p12. Jin et al. (2004) stated that the mouse Fbxo4 gene maps to chromosome 15A1. ... More on the omim web site
