Summary
FBXL3 (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 3, HGNC:13599) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q22.3, encoding F-box/LRR-repeat protein 3 (Q9UKT7). Substrate-recognition component of the SCF(FBXL3) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex involved in circadian rhythm function.
This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbls class and, in addition to an F-box, contains several tandem leucine-rich repeats and is localized in the nucleus.

Function. Substrate-recognition component of the SCF(FBXL3) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex involved in circadian rhythm function. Plays a key role in the maintenance of both the speed and the robustness of the circadian clock oscillation. The SCF(FBXL3) complex mainly acts in the nucleus and mediates ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of CRY1 and CRY2. Activity of the SCF(FBXL3) complex is counteracted by the SCF(FBXL21) complex.
Subunit / interactions. Part of the SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex SCF(FBXL3) composed of CUL1, SKP1, RBX1 and FBXL3. Interacts with CRY1 and CRY2 (phosphorylated). Interacts with HDAC3. Interacts with KDM8.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.
Post-translational modifications. Undergoes autophagy-mediated degradation in the liver in a time-dependent manner.
Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder with short stature, facial anomalies, and speech defects (IDDSFAS) [MIM:606220] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by global developmental delay, mildly to severely impaired intellectual development, delayed or slurred speech, and short stature. Dysmorphic features included a large bulbous nose and variable microretrognathia. Some patients show joint hyperlaxity and dislocations. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 26 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
