Core Tip

Core tip: The protein levels of Krüppel-like factor (KLF)5 are tightly controlled in cell. Ubiquitination and destruction of KLF5 via FBW7, a famous tumor suppressor, has proved to have important roles in multiple cellular progresses by different studies. Here, we summarize these studies and show the physiological and pathological significance of FBW7-mediated degradation of KLF5.
