FBXO45 does not form a canonical SCF complex due to an amino acid substitution in the consensus sequence for Cul1 binding; instead, it specifically associates with PAM/Phr1 (a RING finger-type ubiquitin ligase) to form a novel Fbxo45-PAM ubiquitin ligase complex required for neural development, including innervation of the diaphragm, synapse formation at neuromuscular junctions, axon fiber tract development, and neuronal migration. |

FBXO45 (human ortholog of C. elegans FSN-1) binds specifically to p73 and triggers its proteasome-dependent degradation via SCF(FBXO45)-mediated ubiquitylation both in vivo and in vitro; siRNA-mediated depletion of FBXO45 stabilizes p73 and induces p53-independent cell death. |

Fbxo45 interacts with Par-4 (tumor suppressor) through its SPRY domain via a short consensus sequence motif in the cytoplasm, mediating Par-4 ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation; Fbxo45 silencing stabilizes Par-4 and increases apoptosis, while a Par-4 mutant unable to bind Fbxo45 is stabilized and enhances staurosporine-induced apoptosis. |

Fbxo45 interacts with N-cadherin; Fbxo45 depletion results in enhanced proteolysis of N-cadherin (not ubiquitination-mediated degradation), while ectopic Fbxo45 expression decreases N-cadherin proteolysis, and Fbxo45 depletion impairs neuronal differentiation and neuronal process formation. |

The atypical Skp1-Pam-Fbxo45 (SPF) E3 ligase complex promotes ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent degradation of core EMT transcription factors (Zeb1/2, Snai1/2, Twist1); Fbxo45 recognizes Zeb2 via its SPRY domain and Snai1, Snai2, and Twist1 via its F-box domain; K48-linked ubiquitination of Zeb2 requires a functional SBD domain; miR-27a* downregulates Fbxo45 expression, preventing EMT-TF degradation. |

FBXO45 is a cell-cycle-regulated protein degraded upon CDK1-mediated phosphorylation during S/G2 phase; during S phase or DNA damage repair, FBXO45 binds UPF1 and recruits the phosphatase PPP6C to inhibit UPF1 phosphorylation, thereby preventing degradation of replication-dependent histone mRNAs and ensuring adequate histone supply; loss of FBXO45 in AT2 cells causes UPF1 hyperphosphorylation, histone insufficiency, genomic instability, and spontaneous lung adenocarcinoma in mice. |
