Crystal structures of the Skp1-Fbs1 complex and Fbs1 sugar-binding domain (SBD) bound to glycoprotein revealed that Fbs1 primarily recognizes Man3GlcNAc2 via the SBD, and a linker segment between the F-box and SBD domains undergoes relative motion potentially enabling recognition of different acceptor lysines for ubiquitination. |

In vivo, the majority of Fbs1 (FBXO2) exists as Fbs1-Skp1 heterodimers or monomers rather than canonical SCF complexes; restricted SCF complex formation is due to the short linker between the F-box and sugar-binding domains. Additionally, Fbs1 independently suppresses glycoprotein aggregation via its N-terminal sequence, functioning as a chaperone independent of ubiquitin ligase activity. |
