F-box proteins are a large family of eukaryotic proteins that are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif. Some F-box proteins are critical for the controlled degradation of cellular regulatory proteins. Here we report that a novel member of F-box proteins, FBXO35 gene, was cloned and identified during the large-scale sequencing analysis from a human fetal brain cDNA library. FBXO35 gene shares amino acid similarity with several putative mouse genes not only in F-box domain but also in the rest of the sequence, which indicates that FBXO35 might also contain some other unknown conserved domain. RT-PCR analysis indicated that FBXO35 gene had a ubiquitously low expression pattern in most human adult tissues. According to bioinformatics analysis, the FBXO35 gene was found located in chromosome 3p21. 相似文献

The F-box protein is the substrate recognition subunit of SCF (SKP1/CUL1/F-box) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, a multicomponent RING-type E3 ligase involved in the regulation of numerous cellular processes by targeting critical regulatory proteins for ubiquitination. However, whether and how F-box proteins are regulated is largely unknown. Here we report that FBXO28, a poorly characterized F-box protein, is a novel substrate of SCF E3 ligase. Pharmaceutical or genetic inhibition of neddylation pathway that is required for the activation of SCF stabilizes FBXO28 and prolongs its half-life. Meanwhile, FBXO28 is subjected to ubiquitination and cullin1-based SCF complex promotes FBXO28 degradation. Moreover, deletion of F-box domain stabilizes FBXO28 and knockdown of endogenous FBXO28 strongly upregulates exogenous FBXO28 expression. Taken together, these data reveal that SCFFBXO28 is the E3 ligase responsible for the self-ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of FBXO28, providing a new clue for the upstream signaling regulation for F-box proteins. 相似文献

FBXO2 belongs to the F-box family of proteins, is a cytoplasmic protein and ubiquitin ligase F-box protein with specificity for high-mannose glycoproteins. Recently published studies indicate that other members of the F-box family, such as SKP2 and FBXW7, are involved in the development of gastric cancer. The role of FBXO2 in the process of tumorigenesis, including gastric cancer, is still unknown. In this study, we show that the level of FBXO2 is highly correlated with lymph node metastasis, and that overall survival (OS) of patients with high FBXO2 expression is significantly shorter than patients with low FBXO2 expression. FBXO2 promoted the proliferation and migration of human gastric cancer cells, whereas knockdown of FBXO2 by siRNA led to a decrease in those activities. Down-regulating FBXO2 reduced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in gastric cancer cells, with increased expression of E-cadherin and decreased expression of N-cadherin and vimentin. In summary, our findings suggest that FBXO2-regulated EMT led to carcinogenicity in gastric cancer and may be a novel target in the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. 相似文献

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L (hnRNPL) is a type of RNA binding protein that highly expressed in a variety of tumors and plays a vital role in tumor progression. However, its post-translational regulation through ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and the cellular mechanism responsible for its proteasomal degradation remains unclear. F-box proteins (FBPs) function as the substrate recognition subunits of SCF ubiquitin ligase complexes and directly bind to substrates. The aberrant expression or mutation of FBPs will lead to the accumulation of its substrate proteins that often involved in tumorigenesis. Here we discover FBXO16, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, to be a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer, and patients with the relatively high expression level of FBXO16 have a better prognosis. Silencing or depleting FBXO16 significantly enhanced ovarian cancer cell proliferation, clonogenic survival, and cell invasion by activating multiple oncogenic pathways. This function requires the F-box domain of FBXO16, through which FBXO16 assembles a canonical SCF ubiquitin ligase complex that constitutively targets hnRNPL for degradation. Depletion of hnRNPL is sufficient to inactive multiple oncogenic signaling regulated by FBXO16 and prevent the malignant behavior of ovarian cancer cells caused by FBXO16 deficiency. FBXO16 interacted with the RRM3 domain of hnRNPL via its C-terminal region to trigger the proteasomal degradation of hnRNPL. Failure to degrade hnRNPL promoted ovarian cancer cell proliferation in vitro and tumor growth vivo, phenocopying the deficiency of FBXO16 in ovarian cancer.Subject terms: Ovarian cancer, Oncogenes 相似文献

The Oncogenic MicroRNA-21 Inhibits the Tumor Suppressive Activity of FBXO11 to Promote Tumorigenesis

The microRNA miR-21 is overexpressed in most human cancers and accumulating evidence indicates that it functions as an oncogene. Since miRNAs suppress the expression of their target genes, we hypothesized that some miR-21 targets may act as tumor suppressors, and thus their expression would be anticipated to be reduced by the high miR-21 levels observed in various human cancers. By microarray analysis and quantitative PCR we identified and validated FBXO11 (a member of the F-box subfamily lacking a distinct unifying domain) as a miR-21 target gene. FBXO11 is a component of the SKP1-CUL1-F-box ubiquitin ligase complex that targets proteins for ubiquitination and proteosomal degradation. By loss of function and gain of function studies, we show that FBXO11 acts as a tumor suppressor, promotes apoptosis and mediates the degradation of the oncogenic protein BCL6. The critical role that FBXO11 plays in miR-21-mediated tumorigenesis was demonstrated by a rescue experiment, in which silencing FBXO11 in miR-21KD cancer cells restored their high tumorigenicity. Expression of miR-21 and FBXO11 are inversely correlated in tumor tissue, and their expression correlates with patient survival and tumor grade. High FBXO11 expression correlates with better patient survival and lower tumor grade consistent with its tumor suppressor activity. In contrast high miR-21 expression, which correlates with poor patient survival and higher tumor grade, is consistent with its oncogenic activity. Our results identify FBXO11 as a novel miR-21 target gene, and demonstrate that the oncogenic miRNA miR-21 decreases the expression of FBXO11, which normally acts as a tumor suppressor, and thereby promotes tumorigenesis. 相似文献

Members of the F-box protein (Fbp) family are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid F-box motif. SCF complexes (formed by Skp1, cullin, and one of many Fbps) act as protein-ubiquitin ligases that control the G(1)/S transition of the eukaryotic cell cycle. The substrate specificity of SCF complexes is determined by the presence of different Fbp subunits that recruit specific substrates for ubiquitination. Unchecked degradation of cellular regulatory proteins has been observed in certain tumors and it is possible that deregulated ubiquitin ligases play a role in the altered degradation of cell cycle regulators. We have recently identified a family of human Fbps. As a first step aimed at determining if FBP genes could be involved in human neoplasia, we have mapped the chromosome positions of 5 FBP genes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to 10q24 (BTRC alias beta-TRCP/FBW1a), 9q34 (FBXW2 alias FBW2), 13q22 (FBXL3A alias FBL3a), 5p12 (FBXO4 alias FBX4) and 6q25-->q26 (FBXO5 alias FBX5). Since most of these are chromosomal loci frequently altered in tumors, we have screened 42 human tumor cell lines and 48 human tumor samples by Southern hybridization and FISH. While no gross alterations of the genes encoding beta-Trcp/Fbw1a, Fbw2, Fbx4 and Fbx5 were found, heterozygous deletion of the FBXL3A gene was found in four of 13 small cell carcinoma cell lines. This is the first evaluation of genes encoding Fbps in human tumors. 相似文献

Atrogin-1/MAFbx/FBXO32 is a muscle-specific ubiquitin-ligase (E3) that is dramatically increased in atrophying muscle. Here, we have investigated the functional relationship between atrogin-1 and FBXO25 which shares 65% amino acid identity. Using a RT-PCR, we demonstrated that FBXO25 is highly expressed in brain, kidney, and intestine, whereas atrogin-1 expression is largely restricted to striate muscle. FBXO25 was shown here to contain a functional F-box domain that binds to Skp1 and thereby to Roc1 and Cul1, the major components of SCF-type E3s. In addition, the productive SCF complex containing FBXO25 showed ubiquitin ligase activity. We investigated the differential expression of atrogin-1 and FBXO25 in fasted and dexamethasone-treated mice and also in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Although the atrogin-1 was strongly induced in muscle in all three models, no changes were observed in the expression of FBXO25. Therefore, here we have shown that FBXO25 is a novel F-box protein analogous to atrogin-1, which is not involved in muscle atrophy. Further functional studies should elucidate the exact role of FBXO25 in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. 相似文献

FBXO25 is one of the 69 known human F-box proteins that serve as specificity factors for a family of ubiquitin ligases composed of SKP1, Rbx1, Cullin1, and F-box protein (SCF1) that are involved in targeting proteins for degradation across the ubiquitin proteasome system. However, the substrates of most SCF E3 ligases remain unknown. Here, we applied an in chip ubiquitination screen using a human protein microarray to uncover putative substrates for the FBXO25 protein. Among several novel putative targets identified, the c-fos protooncogene regulator ELK-1 was characterized as the first endogenous substrate for SCF1(FBXO25) E3 ligase. FBXO25 interacted with and mediated the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of ELK-1 in HEK293T cells. In addition, FBXO25 overexpression suppressed induction of two ELK-1 target genes, c-fos and egr-1, in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Together, our findings show that FBXO25 mediates ELK-1 degradation through the ubiquitin proteasome system and thereby plays a role in regulating the activation of ELK-1 pathway in response to mitogens. 相似文献

F-box proteins are a large family of eukaryotic proteins that contained a conserved motif of approximately 40 amino acids.
They play an important role in the processing of degradation of cellular regulatory proteins. In this study we isolated a
full-length of cDNA encoding a putative F-box protein from Citrus grandis Osbeck CV ‘Zigui shatian’ pummelo and designated as CgF-box. The cDNA sequence of CgF-box was 920 bp containing a 585 bp open reading frame encoding a precursor protein of 194 amino acid residues. The deduced protein
comprised a conserved F-box domain at the position from the 40th to 84th amino acids. Cluster analysis suggested that CgF-box was more closely related to the grape F-Box protein. Southern hybridization verified CgF-box existed in the genome as multiple copies. The expression analysis revealed that the expression level of CgF-box gene remarkably increases during the flower developmental process of ‘Zigui shatian’ pummelo, such as high level of expression
was noted in style, petal and anther, on the other hand low level of expression was found in ovary and leaf. For further verifying
the different expression in different tissue of this gene, in situ hybridization was conducted, strong expression signal could
be observed in the style, stigma and anther, low even no signal was observed in ovary. According to their findings we can
conclude that CgF-box was not only involved in flower maturation, but also showed different roles in different tissue. 相似文献

FBOX6 ubiquitin ligase complex is involved in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway by mediating the ubiquitination of glycoproteins. FBXO6 interacts with the chitobiose in unfolded N-glycoprotein, pointing glycoproteins toward E2 for ubiquitination. Although the glycoprotein-recognizing mechanism of FBXO6 is well documented, its bona fide interacting glycoproteins are largely unknown. Here we utilized a protein purification approach combined with LC-MS to systematically identify the FBXO6-interacting glycoproteins. Following identification of 39 proteins that specifically interact with FBXO6 in all three different cell lines, 293T, HeLa and Jurkat cells, we compared the protein complex organization between wild-type FBXO6 and its mutant, which fails to recognize glycoproteins. Combining these databases, 29 highly confident glycoproteins that interact with FBXO6 in an N-glycan dependent manner are identified. Our data provide valuable information for the discovery of the interacting glycoproteins of FBXO6 and also demonstrate the potential of these approaches as general platforms for the global discovery of interacting glycoproteins of other FBAs (F-box associated regions) containing F-box proteins. 相似文献

Recently, we have isolated and characterized a set of cDNA clones which encode lipopolysaccharide-inducible proteins in murine peritoneal macrophages. Here, we report the sequence and identification of one of these cDNAs previously termed C7. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame encoding a predicted polypeptide composed of 98 amino acids, which contained a 21 amino acid residue signal peptide, indicating approximately 9 kDa of mature protein. The deduced protein sequence showed homology (67% identity, 77% considering conservative amino acid changes) with the human INF gamma-inducible gene IP-10, a member of the recently described superfamily of chemotactic and mitogenic proteins which includes platelet factor 4, monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor (NAF, NAP-1, IL-8), and MGSA/gro/KC. Thus C7 would appear to represent the murine homologue of the human IP-10 gene or a very closely related gene. 相似文献

BRCA1 mutations account for a significant proportion of familial breast and ovarian cancers. In addition, reduced BRCA1 protein is associated with sporadic cancer cases in these tissues. At the cellular level, BRCA1 plays a critical role in multiple cellular functions such as DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoint control. Its protein level is regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner. However, regulation of BRCA1 protein stability is not fully understood. Our earlier study showed that the amino terminus of BRCA1 harbors a degron sequence that is sufficient and necessary for conferring BRCA1 degradation. In the current study, we used mass spectrometry to identify Skp1 that regulates BRCA1 protein stability. Small interfering RNA screening that targets all human F-box proteins uncovered FBXO44 as an important protein that influences BRCA1 protein level. The Skp1-Cul1-F-box-protein44 (SCFFBXO44) complex ubiquitinates full-length BRCA1 in vitro. Furthermore, the N terminus of BRCA1 mediates the interaction between BRCA1 and FBXO44. Overexpression of SCFFBXO44 reduces BRCA1 protein level. Taken together, our work strongly suggests that SCFFBXO44 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase responsible for BRCA1 degradation. In addition, FBXO44 expression pattern in breast carcinomas suggests that SCFFBXO44-mediated BRCA1 degradation might contribute to sporadic breast tumor development. 相似文献

Mutations in the F-box only protein 7 gene (FBXO7) cause PARK15, an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease presenting with severe levodopa-responsive parkinsonism and pyramidal disturbances. Understanding the PARK15 pathogenesis might thus provide clues on the mechanisms of maintenance of brain dopaminergic neurons, the same which are lost in Parkinson's disease. The protein(s) encoded by FBXO7 remain very poorly characterized. Here, we show that two protein isoforms are expressed from the FBXO7 gene in normal human cells. The isoform 1 is more abundant, particularly in primary skin fibroblasts. Both isoforms are undetectable in cell lines from the PARK15 patient of an Italian family; the isoform 1 is undetectable and the isoform 2 is severely decreased in the patients from a Dutch PARK15 family. In human cell lines and mouse primary neurons, the endogenous or over-expressed, wild type FBXO7 isoform 1 displays mostly a diffuse nuclear localization. An intact N-terminus is needed for the nuclear FBXO7 localization, as N-terminal modification by PARK15-linked missense mutation, or N-terminus tag leads to cytoplasmic mislocalization. Furthermore, the N-terminus of wild type FBXO7 (but not of mutant FBXO7) is able to confer nuclear localization to profilin (a cytoplasmic protein). Our data also suggest that overexpressed mutant FBXO7 proteins (T22M, R378G and R498X) have decreased stability compared to their wild type counterpart. In human brain, FBXO7 immunoreactivity was highest in the nuclei of neurons throughout the cerebral cortex, intermediate in the globus pallidum and the substantia nigra, and lowest in the hippocampus and cerebellum. In conclusion, the common cellular abnormality found in the PARK15 patients from the Dutch and Italian families is the depletion of the FBXO7 isoform 1, which normally localizes in the cell nucleus. The activity of FBXO7 in the nucleus appears therefore crucial for the maintenance of brain neurons and the pathogenesis of PARK15. 相似文献

Rab proteins are small-molecular-weight GTPases that control vesicular trafficking in eukaryotic cells. During the large-scale sequencing analysis of a human fetal brain cDNA library, we isolated a cDNA clone encoding a novel Rab protein, which showed 74.2% identity with previously isolated Rab39A at the amino acid level. RAB39B was expressed in a variety of human tissues and located in human chromosome Xq28. It consisted of two exons spanning 3764 bp of human genomic DNA. 相似文献

The ubiquitin-proteasome system for protein degradation plays a major role in regulating cell function and many signaling proteins are tightly controlled by this mechanism. Among these, Regulator of G Protein Signaling 2 (RGS2) is a target for rapid proteasomal degradation, however, the specific enzymes involved are not known. Using a genomic siRNA screening approach, we identified a novel E3 ligase complex containing cullin 4B (CUL4B), DNA damage binding protein 1 (DDB1) and F-box protein 44 (FBXO44) that mediates RGS2 protein degradation. While the more typical F-box partners CUL1 and Skp1 can bind FBXO44, that E3 ligase complex does not bind RGS2 and is not involved in RGS2 degradation. These observations define an unexpected DDB1/CUL4B-containing FBXO44 E3 ligase complex. Pharmacological targeting of this mechanism provides a novel therapeutic approach to hypertension, anxiety, and other diseases associated with RGS2 dysregulation. 相似文献
