Abstract:
Far upstream element-binding protein 1 (FUBP1) is a single-stranded nucleic acid-binding protein that binds to the Far Upstream Element (FUSE) sequence and is involved in important biological processes, including DNA transcription, RNA biogenesis, and translation. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of aberrant expression or mutations in FUBP1 in the development of various tumors, with FUBP1 overexpression often indicating oncogenic roles in different tumor types. However, it is worth noting that recent research has discovered its tumor-suppressive role in cancer, which is not yet fully understood and appears to be tissue- or context-dependent. This review summarizes the association between FUBP1 and diverse cancers and discusses the functions of FUBP1 in cancer. In addition, this review proposes potential clinical implications and outlines future research directions to pave the way for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies focusing on FUBP1.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
