F-box protein Fbx23 acts as a transcriptional coactivator to recognize and activate transcription factor Ace1.

ABSTRACT: Protein ubiquitination is usually coupled with proteasomal degradation and is crucial in regulating protein quality. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase SCF (Skp1-Cullin-F-box) complex directly recognizes the target substrate via interaction between the F-box protein and the substrate. F-box protein is the determinant of substrate specificity. The limited number of identified ubiquitin ligase-substrate pairs is a major bottleneck in the ubiquitination field. Penicillium oxalicum contains many transcription factors, such as BrlA, CreA, XlnR, and Ace1, conserved in filamentous fungi that regulate the fungal development and transcription of (hemi)cellulase genes. Transcription factor Ace1 (also known as SltA) positively correlated with fungal growth and conidiation and negatively correlated with
