The SUMO-E3 ligase PIAS3 targets pyruvate kinase M2.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A critical feature for fibroblasts differentiation into myofibroblasts is the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) during the tissue injury and repair process. The epigenetic mechanism, DNA methylation, is involved in regulating α-SMA expression. It is not clear how methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (M...
