Changes in glucose metabolism can lead to tumor development, but the involvement of splicing factors is unclear. Here, the authors screened for SR proteins and identified SRSF5 stability is enhanced in response to glucose elevation to promote alternative splicing of CCAR1 which facilitates tumor growth.
