Cancer Res 69:3788-94. 2009..0033). In conclusion, we showed a role for p53 in the transcriptional regulation of FBXW7 expression in clinical gastric cancer cases and showed that disruption of both p53 and FBXW7 contributes to poor prognosis... - Characterization of the mouse gene for the U-box-type ubiquitin ligase UFD2aChie Kaneko

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 300:297-304. 2003..We also show that UFD2a interacts with VCP (a AAA-family ATPase) that is thought to mediate protein folding. These data implicate UFD2a in the degradation of neuronal proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway...
