PAK4 phosphorylates and stabilizes MYC to promote acute myeloid leukemia by Ting Xie, Peipei Sun, Hao Huang, Qilong Li, Hudan Liu, Jue Jiang

“…Here, we demonstrate that MYC S67 phosphorylation is also present in AML and catalyzed by p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4). PAK4 directly binds MYC via its MBII domain, phosphorylates S67 and disrupts FBXW7-dependent ubiquitination, thereby stabilizing MYC to sustain MYC-driven leukemogenic programs. …”
