Identification of PIM1 substrates reveals a role for NDRG1 phosphorylation in prostate cancer cellular migration and invasion

Through a chemical genetics screen and phospho-proteomics, Ledet and Ruff et al identify substrates of the oncogenic kinase PIM1 in prostate cancer cells. They find that NDRG1 protein is destabilized by PIM1-mediated phosphorylation to reduce its metastasis suppressor function. These findings shed l...
