F-box proteins have a bipartite structure: they contain a carboxy-terminal domain that interacts with substrates and a 42-48 amino-acid F-box domain (see <PDOC50181>) which binds to the protein Skp1. A subset of F-box proteins is characterized by a ~180-residue carboxy-terminal region, which has been called the F-box-associated (FBA) domain [1,2]. A FBA domain has also been identified in the catfish, tilapia, and zebrafish nonspecific cytotoxic cell receptor proteins (NCCRP-1), which do not contain the F-box domain. NCCRP-1 may function as an antigen recognition molecule and, as such, may participate in innate immunity in teleosts [2,3]. The FBA domain is likely to be a glycoprotein-binding module [4,5].
The FBA domain is an ellipsoid composed of a ten-stranded antiparallel β-sandwich with two α-helices (see <PDB:1UMH>) [5].
Some proteins known to contain a FBA domain are listed below:
- Mammalian F-box only protein 2.
- Mammalian F-box only protein 6.
- Mammalian F-box only protein 17.
- Mammalian F-box only protein 27.
- Mammalian F-box only protein 44.
- Teleostian NCCRP-1.
- Caenorhabditis elegans hypothetical protein C14B1.3.
The profile we developed covers the entire FBA domain.
