Abstract

In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Liu et al.1 identify TRIM21-mediated ubiquitination of the Hippo pathway kinase MST2, promoting its dimerization and activation. The antidepressant Vilazodone was found to bind to TRIM21, enhancing its activity toward MST2, increasing Hippo activation, and reducing colorectal cancer metastasis.
