MG53-induced IRS-1 ubiquitination negatively regulates skeletal myogenesis and insulin signalling
Mitsugumin 53 (MG53) negatively regulates skeletal myogenesis by targeting insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1). Here, we show that MG53 is an ubiquitin E3 ligase that induces IRS-1 ubiquitination with the hel...
