Tubby-like protein (TLP) plays an important role in plant growth and development. In this investigation, the characteristics of 11 members in the SlTLP family were studied. SlTLP genes were classified into two subgroups, and the members containing the F-box domain were renamed SlTLFPs. Subcellular localization indicated that most of the SlTLPs were localized in the nucleus. Expression pattern analysis revealed that eight genes (SlTLFP1, 3, 5, 7-10, and SlTLP11) showed differential expression across various tissues, while SlTLFP2, 4, and 6 were widely expressed in all the organs tested. Most SlTLP genes were induced by biotic and abiotic stress treatments such as Botrytis cinerea, temperature, MeJA, and ABA. TLP proteins in tomato have no transcriptional activation activity, and most members with an F-box domain could interact with SUPPRESSOR OF KINETOCHORE PROTEIN 1 (SlSkp1) or Cullin1 (Cul1) or both. Experiments on CRISPR edited SlTLFP8 showed that the N-terminal F-box domain was necessary for its function such as DNA ploidy and stomata size regulation. Our findings suggested that the F-box domain interacts with Skp1 and Cul1 to form the SCF complex, suggesting that SlTLFPs, at least SlTLFP8, function mainly through the F-box domain as an E3 ligase.

SKP1 constitutes the Skp1-Cullin-F-box ubiquitin E3 ligase (SCF), which plays a role in plant growth and development and biotic and abiotic stress in ubiquitination. However, the response of the gene family to abiotic and biotic stresses in cotton has not been well characterized. In this study, a total of 72 genes with the conserved domain of SKP1 were identified in four Gossypium species.

The current research revealed a strong link between lipid reprogramming and dysregulated lipid metabolism to the genesis and development of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Pathologically, ccRCC exhibits a high concentration of lipid droplets within the cytoplasm. HIF-2α expression has previously been demonstrated to be elevated in ccRCC caused by mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene, which plays a vital role in the development of renal cell carcinoma.

F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7), formerly known as hCdc4, hAGO Fbw7, or SEL10, plays a specific recognition function in SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligases. FBXW7 is a well-established cancer suppressor gene that specifically controls proteasomal degradation and destruction of many key oncogenic substrates. The FBXW7 gene is frequently abnormal in human malignancies especially in gastrointestinal cancers.

Thermogenic fat, including brown and beige fat, dissipates heat via thermogenesis and enhances energy expenditure. Thus, its activation represents a therapeutic strategy to combat obesity. Here, we demonstrate that levels of F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7), an E3 ubiquitin protein ligase, negatively correlate with thermogenic fat functionality.

Lysosomes are the major cellular organelles responsible for nutrient recycling and degradation of cellular material. Maintenance of lysosomal integrity is essential for cellular homeostasis and lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) sensitizes toward cell death. Damaged lysosomes are repaired or degraded via lysophagy, during which glycans, exposed on ruptured lysosomal membranes, are recognized by galectins leading to K48- and K63-linked poly-ubiquitination (poly-Ub) of lysosomal proteins followed by recruitment of the macroautophagic/autophagic machinery and degradation.
