LKB1 Controls Human Bronchial Epithelial Morphogenesis through p114RhoGEF-Dependent RhoA Activation

Abstract excerpt

LKB1 is a Ser/Thr kinase that plays an important role in controlling both energy metabolism and cell polarity in metazoan organisms. LKB1 is also a tumor suppressor, and homozygous, inactivating mutations are found in a wide range of human cancers. In lung cancer, inactivating mutations are found in 10 to 50% of cases, but the consequences of functional loss in this context are poorly understood. We report here...
