Double donut versus filament: How structural shapes regulate SPOP activity and cancer pathogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

In this issue of Molecular Cell, Cuneo et al.1 propose an equilibrium between two quaternary states of SPOP that can become dysregulated in cancer. SPOP oligomers form inactive double donuts or active linear filaments, as seen in gain-of-function cancer mutations.
