Rabbit Anti-Fbxw7/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The F-box protein family is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif known as the F-box. F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. One family member, Cdc4, also known as AGO, FBW7, FBXW7, FBX30, SEL10, and FLJ11071, maps to human chromosome 4q31.3. Alternative splicing of this gene generates four transcript variants. In addition to an F-box, Cdc4 contains seven tandem WD40 repeats. Cdc4 binds directly to cyclin E and targets cyclin E for ubiquitin-mediated degradation. Mutations of the Cdc4 gene are detected in ovarian and breast cancer cell lines, suggesting that the gene may be involved in the pathogenesis of human cancers.
Function:
Substrate recognition component of a SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Probably recognizes and binds to phosphorylated target proteins. Involved in the degradation of cyclin-E, MYC, NOTCH1 released notch intracellular domain (NICD), and probably PSEN1.
Subunit:
Component of the SCF(FBXW7) complex consisting of CUL1, RBX1, SKP1 and FBXW7. Interacts with PSEN1, cyclin E, NOTCH1 NICD, NOTCH4 NICD and SKP1. Interacts with MYC (when phosphorylated). Isoform 1 interacts with USP28, leading to counteract ubiquitination of MYC. Isoform 4 interacts (via WD repeats) with SV40 large T antigen (via CPD region). Forms a trimeric complex with NOTCH1 and SGK1.
Subcellular Location:
Isoform 1: Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Isoform 2: Cytoplasm. Isoform 4: Nucleus, nucleolus. Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Isoform 1 is widely expressed. Isoform 4 is expressed in brain.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
Similarity:
Contains 1 F-box domain.
Contains 7 WD repeats.
