Phosphorylation

LINP1

eIF2α

RNA-affinity pull-down–MS, RIP

Suppresses phosphorylation catalyzed by the PERK

Promotes cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in vitro and tumor growth in vivo

Cutaneous squamous cancer

CamK-A

PNCK

RNA-affinity pull-down–MS, in vitro RNA pull-down with recombinant PNCK and IκBα, RIP, in vitro kinase assays

Binds and promotes the phosphorylation of IκBα

Promotes cell proliferation, invasion, metabolic adaptation in vitro

Breast cancer

Ubiquitination

HOTAIR

DZIP3-Ataxin-1 and MEX3B-SNP

RIP, in vitro RNA pull-down

Interacts with substrates Ataxin-1 or Snurportin and degrades the proteins rapidly

Promotes cellular senescence

Fibroblast, cervical cancer

SUMOylation

PSTAR

hnRNP K

RNA-affinity pull-down–MS, RIP, co-IP, luciferase reporter assays
