Abstract excerpt
Numerous proteins display pleiotropic functions in different clinical contexts. However, the molecular mechanism underlying such effects is rarely understood. Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) is a typical example, exhibiting tumor-suppressing or tumor-promoting effects in different tumor types in accordance with different amino acid changes; specifically, two distinct sets of variants in SPOP are commonly found in...
