F-box proteins are proteins containing at least one F-box domain. The first identified F-box protein is one of three components of the SCF complex, which mediates ubiquitination of proteins targeted for degradation by the 26S proteasome.
Core components
F-box domain is a protein structural motif of about 50 amino acids that mediates protein–protein interactions. It has consensus sequence and varies in few positions. It was first identified in cyclin F.[2] The F-box motif of Skp2, consisting of three alpha-helices, interacts directly with the SCF protein Skp1.[3] F-box domains commonly exist in proteins in concert with other protein–protein interaction motifs such as leucine-rich repeats (illustrated in the Figure) and WD repeats, which are thought to mediate interactions with SCF substrates.[4]
Function
F-box proteins have also been associated with cellular functions such as signal transduction and regulation of the cell cycle.[5] In plants, many F-box proteins are represented in gene networks broadly regulated by microRNA-mediated gene silencing via RNA interference.[6] F-box proteins are involved in many plant vegetative and reproduction growth and development. For example, F-box protein-FOA1 involved in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling to affect the seed germination.[7] ACRE189/ACIF1 can regulate cell death and defense when the pathogen is recognized in the Tobacco and Tomato plant.[8]
In human cells, under high-iron conditions, two iron atoms stabilise the F-Box FBXL5 and then the complex mediates the ubiquitination of IRP2.[9]
Regulation
F-box protein levels can be regulated by different mechanisms. The regulation can occur via protein degradation process and association with SCF complex . For example, in yeast, the F-box protein Met30 can be ubiquitinated in a cullin-dependent manner.[10][11]

F-box domain Provide feedback
This domain is approximately 50 amino acids long, and is usually found in the N-terminal half of a variety of proteins. Two motifs that are commonly found associated with the F-box domain are the leucine rich repeats (LRRs; PF00560 and PF07723) and the WD repeat (PF00400). 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 [3].

InterPro entry IPR001810
First identified in cyclin-F as a protein-protein interaction motif, the F-box is a conserved domain that is present in numerous proteins with a bipartite structure [PUBMED:8706131]. Through the F-box, these proteins are linked to the Skp1 protein and the core of SCFs (Skp1-cullin-F-box protein ligase) complexes. SCFs complexes constitute a new class of E3 ligases [PUBMED:9346238]. They function in combination with the E2 enzyme Cdc34 to ubiquitinate G1 cyclins, Cdk inhibitors and many other proteins, to mark them for degradation. The binding of the specific substrates by SCFs complexes is mediated by divergent protein-protein interaction motifs present in F-box proteins, like WD40 repeats, leucine rich repeats [PUBMED:9529603, PUBMED:10581972] or ANK repeats.

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the F-box domain has been found. There are 11 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.
