Background information
FBXL15 probably recognizes and binds to some phosphorylated proteins and promotes their ubiquitination and degradation.F-box proteins are critical components of the SCF (Skp1-CUL-1-F-box protein) type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and are involved in substrate recognition and recruitment for ubiquitination. They are members of a larger family of proteins that are involved in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular processes (including the cell cycle, immune responses, signaling cascades and developmental events) through the targeting of proteins, such as cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. FBL15 (F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 15), also known as FBXL15, FBXO37, PSD or JET, is a 296 amino acid protein that contains one F-box domain and functions as a component of the SCF complex, possibly playing a role in the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of target proteins.
