Furthermore, we found that the protein level of IGF2BP3 was dramatically increased (Fig. 5D), while its level of ubiquitination was obviously decreased, in HECTD4-knockdown GBM cells (Fig. 5E), indicating that HECTD4 acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase to degrade IGF2BP3 via the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway in glioma. Here, IGF2BP3 is linked to glioblastoma.
