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 Arabidopsis thaliana F-box/LRR-repeat protein 13 (AtARP13), 25 (AtARP25) and similar proteins; AtARP13 and AtARP25 belong to the largest subfamily of plant F-box proteins, F-box/LRR-repeat protein (FBLs). It contains tandem leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). Like other F-box proteins, they may be components of SCF (Skp1 Cdc53 F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, which may mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. 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.
