Modulating multi-functional ERK complexes by covalent targeting of a recruitment site in vivo

The ERK signalling pathway is activated in many cancers, however ERK1 and ERK2 are difficult to target pharmacologically. Here, the authors identify a small molecule inhibitor that binds covalently to the D-recruitment site of ERK and induces cell death and reduces tumour growth in mice.
