This domain is approximately 50 amino acids long, and is usually found in the N-terminal half of a variety of proteins. Two motifs that are commonly found associated with the F-box domain are the leucine rich repeats (LRRs; Pfam:PF00560 and Pfam:PF07723) and the WD repeat (Pfam:PF00400). 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 [1-2].
Proteins in this family are involved in the regulation of 1,3-beta-glucan synthase activity and cell-wall formation [1][2]. Genome contextual information showed that SMI1 are primary immunity proteins in bacterial toxin systems [3].
