Scale bars, 20 m, n = 11 (n) and n = eight (o)actin-capping protein subunit alpha-1), and TTLL5 (Tubulin tyrosine Asimadoline Epigenetic Reader Domain ligase like 5), these proteins were all downregulated following overexpression of WTX (Supplementary Fig. 3a and Fig. 2a). This suggests that WTX could possibly play a function in regulating the cytoskeleton protein stabilization.Rho loved ones modest GTPase members are essential regulators of cell migration by way of mediating cytoskeleton stabilization20,21. We hypothesized that WTX could possibly regulate cytoskeleton stabilization via Rho household compact GTPase members.
