The authors uncover a role for the proteostasis modulator AIRAPL as a tumor suppressor in myeloproliferative malignancies, through its regulation of IGFR stability. The results ascribe a biological function to AIRAPL, and they implicate prosteostatic deregulation as an oncogenic mechanism in myeloid transformation, thus suggesting potential novel therapeutic strategies.
