F-box domain superfamily; This short domain is commonly found at the N-terminus of various proteins, and typically co-occurs with one or more other conserved domains or motifs, such as leucine rich repeats, WD40 repeats, kelch, tub, spry, and others. 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. One of the best researched roles of F-box proteins is their participation in SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein), a multi-protein complex that functions as a ubiquitin E3 ligase, where the role of the F-box protein is to recruit target substrates. Gene families containing the F-box are found greatly expanded in narrow taxonomic lineages, such as flowering plants and nematodes. In this hierarchical classification, many of the subfamilies are named according to their domain architectures.

F-box domain found in F-box only protein 17 (FBXO17), F-box only protein 27 (FBXO27) and similar proteins; This subfamily includes FBXO17 and FBXO27. FBXO17 is also called FBX17, F-box only protein 26 (FBX26/FBXO26), or FBG4, while FBXO27 is also called FBX27, or F-box/G-domain protein 5. FBXO17 and FBXO27 are the substrate-recognition components of SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes. They can recognize and bind denatured glycoproteins, which are modified with complex-type oligosaccharides. FBXO17 also recognizes sulfated glycans but does not bind high-mannose glycoproteins. 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.

F-box domain found in F-box only proteins FBXO6, FBXO44 and similar proteins; This subfamily includes FBXO6 and FBXO44. FBXO6, also called FBX6, F-box protein that recognizes sugar chains 2 (FBS2), or F-box/G-domain protein 2 (FBG2), is a substrate-recognition component of SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes. It is involved in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway (ERAD) for misfolded lumenal proteins, by recognizing and binding sugar chains on unfolded glycoproteins that are retro-translocated into the cytosol and promoting their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. FBXO6 can recognize and bind denatured glycoproteins, which are modified with not only high-mannose but also complex-type oligosaccharides. It also recognizes sulfated glycans. FBXO6 is involved in DNA damage response by specifically recognizing activated CHEK1 (phosphorylated on 'Ser-345'), promoting its ubiquitination and degradation. FBXO44, also called FBXO6A, FBX44, or F-box/G-domain protein 3 (FBG3), is a substrate-recognition component of an SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. It interacts with SKP1 and CUL1. FBXO44 mediates BRCA1 ubiquitination and degradation. 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.
