Upstream pathways regulating Brg1 stability and their role in carcinogenesis are unknown. Here they show Brg1 to be phosphorylated by CK1δ to promote its ubiquitination by SCFFBW7 (FBW7), Brg1 stabilization to promote gastric cancer metastasis, and suggest targeting Brg1 in FBW7 compromised gastric cancer.
