Extracellular signalling regulates gastrin transcription through site-specific phosphorylation and nuclear redistribution of Menin

Uloma B. Elvis‐Offiah, Ziyu Wen, Xianxin Hua, Juanita L. Merchant

This study shows extracellular signaling regulates gastrin transcription by phosphorylating Menin at Ser487, causing its nuclear redistribution and loss of tumor-suppressor function.

Hedgehog signaling drives glial cell plasticity and oncogenic reprogramming in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms

Suzann Duan, Anneleigh Belle Twer, Ateh Zinkeng…·Juanita L. Merchant

This study shows Men1-deficient glial cells reprogram via SHH-GLI signaling to become gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
