The SCF(SKP2) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex polyubiquitinates RUNX2 on unknown lysine residues, targeting it for proteasome-mediated degradation. SKP2-triggered RUNX2 degradation negatively regulates osteogenesis by inhibiting differentiation of osteoblasts (Thacker et al. 2016). This process is inhibited by glucose uptake in osteoblasts (Wei et al. 2015).
