IGF2BP1 revealed as a double agent* hemoglobin switcher! How this heterochronic RBP both inhibits BCL11A (thru HIC2) & directly binds + supports the fetal globin transcript: ashpublications.org/blood/articl... Led by fantastic Steve Coyne. *Scott Peslak blurb: ashpublications.org/blood/articl...

Direct and indirect regulation of fetal globin transcript by the RNA-binding protein IGF2BP1
Key PointsThe RBP regulates fetal hemoglobin directly through posttranscriptional control and indirectly via BCL11A.IGF2BP1 binding to a stop codon–proxima
