SCFFbxo22-KDM4A targets methylated p53 for degradation and regulates senescence
Abstract
Cellular senescence—the permanent cessation of cell proliferation—is a process that can be deregulated in cancer and other aging-related diseases. Here the authors demonstrate that the SCFFbxo22-KDM4A complex plays an essential role during senescence as an E3 ligase that targets methylated p53 for degradation.
