F-box domain; 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; pfam00560 and pfam07723) and the WD repeat (pfam00400). 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.

F-box domain found in Arabidopsis thaliana F-box/WD-40 repeat-containing protein 1 (AtFBW1) and similar proteins; AtFBW1, also called WD-40-associated F-box protein 1, is an F-box protein that contains four WD-40 repeats, which are separated from each other by a spacer region. Like other F-box proteins, AtFBW1 may be a component of SCF (Skp1 Cdc53 F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, which may mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. This subfamily also contains many F-box only proteins that do not have any WD repeat. 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.

F-box domain superfamily; This short domain is commonly found at the N-terminus of various proteins, and typically co-occurs with one or more other conserved domains or motifs, such as leucine rich repeats, WD40 repeats, kelch, tub, spry, and others. 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. One of the best researched roles of F-box proteins is their participation in SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein), a multi-protein complex that functions as a ubiquitin E3 ligase, where the role of the F-box protein is to recruit target substrates. Gene families containing the F-box are found greatly expanded in narrow taxonomic lineages, such as flowering plants and nematodes. In this hierarchical classification, many of the subfamilies are named according to their domain architectures.

F-box domain found in Schizosaccharomyces pombe Skp1-binding protein 1 (SpPof1) and similar proteins; SpPof1, also called F-box/WD repeat-containing protein pof1, probably recognizes and binds to some phosphorylated proteins and promotes their ubiquitination and degradation. It is required for the inactivation of zip1 via ubiquitination. This subfamily also includes Saccharomyces cerevisiae methionine-requiring protein 30 (ScMET30, also called E3 ubiquitin ligase complex SCF(Met30) subunit MET30), Aspergillus niger sulfur controller B (AnSCONB, also called sulfur metabolite repression control protein B) and Neurospora crassa sulfur controller 2 (NcSCON2, also called sulfur metabolite repression control protein 2). ScMET30 acts as a transcriptional inhibitor that negatively regulates the expression of sulfur amino acid biosynthesis genes. It controls cell cycle function (being required for the G1/S transition and M-phase but not the S-phase), sulfur metabolism, and methionine biosynthesis as part of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex SCF(Met30). AnSCONB and NcSCON2 are components of the SCF (sconB/scon-2) E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes involved in the regulation of sulfur metabolite repression, probably by mediating the inactivation or degradation of the metR transcription factor. 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.
