Dual functions of SPOP and ERG dictate androgen therapy responses in prostate cancer

Gene fusions involving the ERG transcription factor and point mutations in the ubiquitin ligase adaptor SPOP are two truncal mutations that are mutually exclusively present in prostate cancer. Here, the authors show that mutations in SPOP render prostate tumor cells sensitive to antiandrogen therapy...
