The β-TrCP-FBXW2-SKP2 axis regulates lung cancer cell growth with FBXW2 acting as a tumour suppressor

F-box proteins β-TrCP1 and SKP2 act as oncogenes by promoting targeted degradation of critical protein substrates. Here, the authors identify an axis of F-box proteins β-TrCP1-FBXW2-SKP2 where FBXW2 is a substrate of β-TrCP1 but mediates the degradation of SKP2, thus acting as a tumour suppressor....
