The intronic region of Fbxl12 functions as an alternative promoter regulated by UV irradiation
TL;DRAbstract
The ubiquitin ligases, SCF complexes, consist of Cul1, Skp1, Rbx1 and the substrate recognition components F-box proteins. Previous studies have reported that one of these F-box proteins, Fbl12, which is produced by <i>Fbxl12</i> gene, regulates both cell cycle and differentiation. In this paper, we show that the intronic region of <i>Fbxl12</i> gene acts as an alternative promoter and induces expression of a short form of Fbl12 that lacks F-box domain (Fbl12ΔF). We also found that UV irradiation increases Fbl12ΔF mRNA in cells. Finally, Fbl12ΔF may promote the subcellular localization of Fbl12 from nucleus to cytoplasm through their binding. Our data provide the possibility that Fbl12ΔF induced by alternative promoter controls the SCF<sup>Fbl12</sup> activity in response to UV stimulation.
