Monoubiquitination of p120-catenin is essential for TGFβ-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and tumor metastasis
22 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Disassembly of intercellular junctions is a hallmark of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, how the junctions disassemble remains largely unknown. Here, we report that E3 ubiquitin ligase Smurf1 targets p120-catenin, a core component of adherens junction (AJ) complex, for monoubiquitination during transforming growth factor β (TGFβ)-induced EMT, thereby leading to AJ dissociation. Upon TGFβ...
