Essential role of FBXL5-mediated cellular iron homeostasis in maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells

The iron-regulated F-box protein FBXL5 regulates iron homeostasis by mediating the degradation of iron regulatory protein 2 (IRP2). Here the authors show that FBXL5 and its regulation of IRP2 are required for HSC self-renewal and reconstitution capability.
