F-box domain found in Arabidopsis thaliana protein ATTENUATED FAR-RED RESPONSE (AtAFR) and similar proteins
AtAFR, also called SKP1-interacting partner 29 (AtSKIP29), or F-box protein AFR, is a component of SCF (SKP1/ASK-cullin-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, which may mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. It is part of the phyA-mediated signaling transduction pathway leading to the regulation of gene expression and hypocotyl elongation in response to red and far-red light exposure. This subfamily also includes many other Arabidopsis thaliana SKP1-interacting partner 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.
Feature 1:putative Skp1 binding site [polypeptide binding site]
Evidence:
Comment:based on the structure evidences that other F-box superfamily members interact with Skp1
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.
