“…The F-box proteins are major components of ubiquitin protein ligase complex SKP1-cullin-F-box (SCFs), which plays a critical role in phosphorylation-dependent protein ubiquitination [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. Particularly, FBXL5 is an iron sensor, which promotes IRP2 ubiquitination and then its degradation [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. Recently, we reported that FBXL5 mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of cortactin, which is necessary for the invasion and metastasis of GC cells [31].…”
