Piquing our interest: Insights into the role of PEAK3 in signaling and disease

Michael D Paul et al. Sci Signal. .

Abstract

Pseudokinases are critical signaling hubs that are increasingly appreciated as important disease targets. In this issue of Science Signaling, Hou et al. bring new insights into the signaling mechanisms of the pseudokinase PEAK3 by characterizing its epidermal growth factor-dependent interactome and demonstrating oncogenic effects of PEAK3 overexpression.

(A) Rewiring of PEAK3 interactome as a function of EGF stimulation. The strength of association of different binding partners with PEAK3 is correlated with the cartoon darkness: weak interactions are faded away. pY denotes phospho-Tyr24 of PEAK3. (B) Summary of differential signaling outcomes of PEAK3 homo- and heterodimerization with PEAK1 and PEAK2, as described in the Hou et al. (7).
