UBQLN4 is an ATM substrate that stabilizes the anti‐apoptotic proteins BCL2A1 and BCL2L10 in mesothelioma
ATM serine/threonine kinase (ATM; previously known as ataxia‐telangiectasia mutated) plays a critical role in maintaining genomic stability and regulates multiple downstream pathways, such as DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. As a serine/threonine kinase, ATM has an array of downstream p...
