Fig. 9: Schematic of the proposed mechanism by which RBM47 inhibits HCC progression.
From: RBM47 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma progression by targeting UPF1 as a DNA/RNA regulator

As an RNA binding protein, RBM47 elevated UPF1 mRNA by binding to the UPF1 3’UTR to enhance its stability. Meanwhile, RBM47 directly bound to the promoter of UPF1 as a DNA binding protein to promote UPF1 transcription. Thus, RBM47 suppressed HCC progression by enhancing UPF1 as a DNA/RNA regulator.
