FBXO11 is the substrate-recognition subunit of an SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box) ubiquitin ligase complex that directly ubiquitylates BCL6, targeting it for proteasomal degradation. Tumor-derived FBXO11 mutants displayed impaired ability to induce BCL6 degradation, and reconstitution of FBXO11 in FBXO11-deleted DLBCL cells promoted BCL6 ubiquitylation and degradation, inhibited proliferation, and induced cell death. |

SCF-FBXO11 ubiquitylates SNAIL and targets it for proteasomal degradation, but only after SNAIL Ser-11 is phosphorylated by protein kinase D1 (PKD1). This PKD1-FBXO11-SNAIL axis suppresses EMT, tumor initiation, and metastasis in breast cancer models. |

FBXO11 is a component of the SCF complex and acts as an adaptor protein that promotes neddylation (NEDD8 conjugation) of p53, including at Lys-320 and Lys-321, inhibiting p53 transcriptional activity. This was demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. |

FBXO11 interacts with CDT2 (a DCAF substrate receptor of CRL4) and recruits CDT2 to the SCF-FBXO11 complex to promote its proteasomal degradation. Unlike typical SCF substrates, CDK-mediated phosphorylation of Thr464 in the CDT2 degron inhibits (rather than promotes) recognition by FBXO11. This regulation of CDT2 is evolutionarily conserved from C. elegans to humans and controls the timing of cell-cycle exit. |

CRL1-FBXO11 polyubiquitylates CDT2 and promotes its degradation, independent of CRL4A-mediated autoubiquitylation of CDT2. FBXO11-mediated CDT2 degradation stabilizes p21 and Set8/Pr-Set7, which is important for the response to TGF-β (enabling Set8-dependent shutoff of Smad2 activation) and for stimulating epithelial cell migration. |

FBXO11 promotes ubiquitin-mediated degradation of multiple Snail family members (SNAI1, SNAI2/Slug, Scratch), independent of SNAI1 phosphorylation in vitro. Depletion of FBXO11 in epithelial cancer cells causes Snail accumulation, EMT, and invasion. In FBXO11-knockout mice, neonatal lethality, epidermal thickening, and increased Snail protein in epidermis confirm FBXO11 as a physiological ubiquitin ligase of Snail. C. elegans fbxo11 mutant phenotype is suppressed by inactivation of Snail homologs. |

FBXO11 promotes ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of BAHD1, an H3K27me3 reader that recruits transcriptional corepressors and physically interacts with PRC2. In FBXO11-deficient erythroblasts, BAHD1 accumulates at bivalent gene promoters, prevents GATA1 binding, and blocks erythroid maturation genes. Depletion of either BAHD1 or PRC2 restores gene expression in FBXO11-/- erythroblasts. |

In the Jeff mouse model carrying a mutation in Fbxo11, phospho-Smad2 (pSmad2) is significantly upregulated and shows increased nuclear localization in epithelia. Mice heterozygous for both Jeff and Smad2 mutations recapitulate many Jeff homozygous phenotypes. No direct physical interaction between Fbxo11 and Smad2 was detected by tissue immunoprecipitation. Fbxo11 mutation reduces p53 levels, suggesting Fbxo11 stabilizes p53 which in turn limits pSmad2 nuclear accumulation. |

NDR1 phosphorylates β-catenin at Ser33/Ser37, facilitating its interaction with FBXO11. FBXO11 then mediates ubiquitylation and cytoplasmic degradation of β-catenin. Additionally, the NDR1-FBXO11 complex induces JNK2 ubiquitination, impeding β-catenin nuclear translocation. This dual mechanism suppresses EMT and prostate cancer metastasis. |
