PSPC1: a contextual determinant of tumor progression

Abstract

Protein-tyrosine kinase 6 (PTK6) sequestrated by its substrate paraspeckle component 1 (PSPC1) in nucleus is a tumor suppressor. PSPC1 functions as a contextual determinant of oncogenic subcellular translocations to synergize PSPC1/β-catenin and PTK6 tumorigenesis. Besides, PSPC1 C-terminal interacting domain (PSPC1-CT131), a dual inhibitor of PSPC1 and PTK6, suppresses cancer progression.
