OverviewOverview

The ubiquitin ligase complex SCF(Fbs1), which contributes to the, ubiquitination of glycoproteins, is involved in the endoplasmic, reticulum-associated degradation pathway. In SCF ubiquitin ligases, a, diverse array of F-box proteins confers substrate specificity. Fbs1/Fbx2, a member of the F-box protein family, recognizes high-mannose, oligosaccharides. To elucidate the structural basis of SCF(Fbs1) function, we determined the crystal structures of the Skp1-Fbs1 complex and the, sugar-binding domain (SBD) of the Fbs1-glycoprotein complex. The, mechanistic model indicated by the structures appears to be well conserved, among the SCF ubiquitin ligases. The structure of the SBD-glycoprotein, complex indicates that the SBD primarily recognizes Man(3)GlcNAc(2), thereby explaining the broad activity of the enzyme against various, glycoproteins. Comparison of two crystal structures of the Skp1-Fbs1, complex revealed the relative motion of a linker segment between the F-box, and the SBD domains, which might underlie the ability of the complex to, recognize different acceptor lysine residues for ubiquitination.
