FBXO45 does not form a canonical SCF complex due to an amino acid substitution in the consensus sequence for Cul1 binding; instead, it associates with PAM/Phr1 (a RING finger-type ubiquitin ligase) to form a novel FBXO45-PAM ubiquitin ligase complex required for neuronal development, synapse formation, and neuronal migration. |

The atypical Skp1-PAM-FBXO45 (SPF) E3 ligase complex targets EMT-inducing transcription factors (Zeb2, Snai1, Snai2, Twist1) for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation; FBXO45 recognizes Zeb2 through its SPRY domain and the other three EMT-TFs via its F-box domain, and K48-linked ubiquitination of Zeb2 requires a functional SBD domain. |

Fbxo45 appears to be secreted by a nonclassical mechanism (not requiring a signal peptide or ER-to-Golgi transport) and binds SPRY motifs in the extracellular domain of N-cadherin that are not involved in cell-cell adhesion; SPRY motif mutation or Fbxo45 suppression inhibits radial neuronal migration in vivo. |

FBXO45 is a cell-cycle-regulated protein degraded by CDK1 phosphorylation during S/G2 phase; during S phase or DNA damage repair, FBXO45 binds UPF1 and recruits phosphatase PPP6C to inhibit UPF1 phosphorylation, preventing degradation of replication-dependent histone mRNAs and ensuring adequate histone supply; loss of FBXO45 causes histone insufficiency, chromatin relaxation, genomic instability, and malignant transformation. |
