F-Box And WD-40 Repeat Containing Protein 9
Specificity Factor For SCF Ubiquitin Ligase
FBW9
Members of the F-box protein family, such as FBXW9, are characterized by an approximately 40-amino acid F-box motif. SCF complexes, formed by SKP1 (MIM 601434), cullin (see CUL1; MIM 603034), and F-box proteins, act as protein-ubiquitin ligases. F-box proteins interact with SKP1 through the F box, and they interact with ubiquitination targets through other protein interaction domains (Jin et al., 2004 [PubMed 15520277]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
Forensic Context
A study in humans demonstrated that the FBXW9 gene was downregulated as part of the inhibited protein folding pathway in the lungs and brain of sepsis patients compared to uninfected controls, based on RNA sequencing of post-mortem tissue samples [Pinheiro da Silva et al. DOI:10.1111/jcmm.17938].
