Among the other validated hits were proteins involved in the ubiquitin proteasome system (STAMBP and MYLIP (38)), transcription (MTA1, PKNOX2) (39), translation (EIF4E3) (40), male infertility (RABL2A, DAZAP1) (41), and virus-induced oncogenesis (MTA1) (42, 43). Here, MTA1 is linked to male infertility.
