G3BP1 inhibits Cul3SPOP to amplify AR signaling and promote prostate cancer

SPOP functions as a tumour suppressor in prostate cancer but how the protein is regulated is unclear. Here, the authors identify G3BP1 as a competitive inhibitor of SPOP and show that G3BP1-SPOP axis activates androgen signalling to drive tumorigenesis.
