However, recent data suggest additional roles in cell signaling and gene expression, especially in tumor cells. These novel functions are primarily regulated by the site-specific phosphorylation of LASP1. This review will focus on specific phosphorylation-dependent interaction between LASP1 and cellular proteins that orchestrate primary tumor progression and metastasis. More specifically, we will describe the role of LASP1 in chemokine receptor, and PI3K/AKT signaling. We outline the nuclear role for LASP1 in terms of epigenetics and transcriptional regulation and modulation of oncogenic mRNA translation. Finally, newly identified roles for the cytoskeletal function of LASP1 next to its known canonical F-actin binding properties are included.}, language = {en} }
