USP22 is a novel vulnerability regulating MEIS1 protein abundance and gene transcription in KMT2Ar acute leukemia
Listen to this summary
The authors investigate the role of USP22 in regulating MEIS1 protein stability and gene transcription in KMT2Ar acute leukemia, a subtype associated with poor prognosis and chemotherapy resistance. Through a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen, they identify USP22 as a crucial deubiquitinase that protects MEIS1 from degradation, thereby promoting leukemogenic transcription. The study suggests that targeting USP22 may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for treating KMT2Ar acute leukemias.
