MAGE-A proteins are testis-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase components whose expression is upregulated in many cancers. MAGE-A3 and -A6 act as oncogenes and recent work now shows that they degrade the central metabolic regulator AMPK, providing a novel mechanism for rewiring cancer metabolism.
MAGE-A 蛋白是睾丸特异性 E3 泛素连接酶的组成部分,其在许多癌症中表达上调。MAGE-A3 和 -A6 作为癌基因发挥作用,最近的研究表明它们降解了中央代谢调节剂 AMPK,为重新连接癌症代谢提供了一种新的机制。
