A BAC located in the 16q24.3 breast cancer loss of heterozygosity region was previously shown to restore cellular senescence when transferred into breast tumor cell lines, We have shown that FBX031, although located just distal to this BAC, can induce cellular senescence in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and is the likely candidate senescence gene. FBX031 has properties consistent with a tumor suppressor, because ectopic expression of FBX031 in two breast cancer cell lines inhibited colony growth on plastic and inhibited cell proliferation in the MCF-7 cell line. In addition, compared with the relative expression in normal breast, levels of FBX031 were down-regulated in breast tumor cell lines and primary tumors. FBX031 was cell cycle regulated in the breast cell lines MCF-10A and SKBR3 with maximal expression from late G(2) to early G(1) phase. Ectopic expression of FBX031 in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 resulted in the accumulation of cells at the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. FBX031 contains an F-box domain and is associated with the proteins Skp1, Roc-1, and Cullin-1, suggesting that FBX031 is a component of a SCF ubiquitination complex. We propose that FBX031 functions as a tumor suppressor by generating SCFFBXO31 complexes that target particular substrates, critical for the normal execution of the cell cycle, for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation.
