Revisiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer metastasis: the connection between epithelial plasticity and stemness.

abstract：:Cullin 4B, a member of the Cullins, which serve as scaffolds to facilitate the assembly of E3 ligase complexes, is aberrantly expressed in many cancers, including osteosarcoma. Recently, we observed that CUL4B forms the CRL4BDCAF11 E3 ligase, which specifically ubiquitinates and degrades the cyclin-dependent kinase (C...
