Accumulated evidence shows that the F-box protein 3 (FBXO3) has multiple biological functions, including regulation of immune pathologies, neuropathic diseases and antiviral response. In this review article, we focus on the role of FBXO3 in inflammatory disorders and human malignancies. We also describe the substrates of FBXO3, which contribute to inflammatory disorders and cancers. We highlight that the high expression of FBXO3 is frequently observed in rheumatoid arthritis, leukemia, pituitary adenoma, and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Moreover, we discuss the regulation of FBXO3 by both carcinogens and cancer preventive agents. Our review provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of FBXO3 in various biological systems and elucidates how FBXO3 regulates substrate ubiquitination and degradation during various physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, FBXO3 can be a novel target in the treatment of human diseases including carcinomas.

Lysophagy eliminates damaged lysosomes and is crucial to cellular homeostasis; however, its underlying mechanisms are not entirely understood. We screen a ubiquitination-related compound library and determine that the substrate recognition component of the SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, SCF(FBXO3), which is a critical lysophagy regulator. Inhibition of FBXO3 reduces lysophagy and lysophagic flux in response to L-leucyl-L-leucine methyl ester (LLOMe).

Oxygen prevents hydrogen production in Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii), in part by inhibiting the transcription of hydrogenase genes. We developed a screen for mutants showing constitutive accumulation of iron hydrogenase 1 (HYDA1) transcripts in normoxia. A reporter gene required for ciliary motility placed under the control of the HYDA1 promoter conferred motility only in hypoxia.

Sin3 is an evolutionarily conserved repressor protein complex mainly associated with histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity. Many proteins are part of Sin3/HDAC complexes, and the function of most of these members remains poorly understood. SAP25, a previously identified Sin3A associated protein of 25 kDa, has been proposed to participate in regulating gene expression programs involved in the immune response but the exact mechanism of this regulation is unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Viruses have evolved mechanisms to break down cellular proteins to enhance their infection and disease-causing ability, and the non-structural protein NSs from Rift Valley fever virus plays a crucial role in this process.
- The NSs protein forms helical structures that work as an E3 ligase, specifically targeting and degrading the TFIIH complex, which is important for antiviral immunity.
- The degradation of the TFIIH complex by NSs leads to a significant weakening of the host's immune response and facilitates the virus's ability to cause disease, while also showing potential for targeting other proteins in the cell.
The Transcription Factor Tbx5-Dependent Epigenetic Modification Contributes to Neuropathic Allodynia by Activating TRPV1 Expression in the Dorsal Horn.

Nerve injury can induce aberrant changes in the spine; these changes are due to, or at least partly governed by, transcription factors that contribute to the genesis of neuropathic allodynia. Here, we showed that spinal nerve ligation (SNL, a clinical neuropathic allodynia model) increased the expression of the transcription factor Tbx5 in the injured dorsal horn in male Sprague Dawley rats. In contrast, blocking this upregulation alleviated SNL-induced mechanical allodynia, and there was no apparent effect on locomotor function.
