The ubiquitin ligase RNF5 determines acute myeloid leukemia growth and susceptibility to histone deacetylase inhibitors

Epigenetic changes are implicated in Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) tumorigenesis. Here, the authors show that the ubiquitin ligase RNF5 and its substrate RBBP4 contribute to AML development by regulating epigenetic-controlled transcription which determines AML sensitivity to HDAC inhibitors.
