Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent and aggressive malignant glioma. Due to patients’ poor prognosis, it is of great clinical significance to determine new targets that may improve GBM treatment. In the present study, we showed that ubiquitin (Ub)‐conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) was significantly overexpressed in GBM and could promote proliferation, invasion, and inhibit apoptosis of GBM cells. Mechanistically, UBE2T functioned as the Ub enzyme of ribosomal protein L6 (RPL6) and induced the ubiquitination and degradation of RPL6 in an E3 ligase‐independent manner through direct modification by K48‐linked polyubiquitination, thus contributing to the malignant progression of GBM cells. Furthermore, inhibiting the expression of RPL6 by UBE2T could not only reduce the expression of wild‐type p53, but also enhance the gain‐of‐function of mutant p53. Moreover, knockdown of UBE2T in LN229 cells obviously suppressed tumor growth in LN229 xenograft mouse models. Collectively, our study demonstrated that UBE2T promotes GBM malignancy through ubiquitination‐mediated degradation of RPL6 regardless of the p53 mutation status. It will provide new candidates for molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets for clinical application in GBM. The present study showed that overexpression of UBE2T promoted the proliferation, invasion and anti‐apoptosis of GBM cells. It is further discovered that UBE2T inhibited the expression of RPL6 through ubiquitination modification, thereby promoting the GBM malignance no matter p53 was mutation or wild status.
