RUNX1 is a member of RUNX transcription factors and plays important roles in hematopoiesis. RUNX1 function is under the tight control through posttranslational modifications, including phosphorylation and ubiquitination. We previously developed a luminescence-based binding assay (AlphaScreen) to systematically detect RUNX1-interacting E3 ubiquitin ligases. In this study, we showed that a nuclear ubiquitin ligase RNF38 induced ubiquitination of RUNX1. RNF38-induced RUNX1 ubiquitination did not promote RUNX1 degradation, but rather stabilized RUNX1 protein. We also found that RNF38 enhanced RUNX1-mediated transcriptional repression of the erythroid master regulator KLF1 in K562 cells. Consequently, RNF38 cooperated with RUNX1 to inhibit erythroid differentiation of K562 cells. Thus, our study identified RNF38 as a novel E3 ligase that modifies RUNX1 function without inducing its degradation.

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
