Deregulated PP1α phosphatase activity towards MAPK activation is antagonized by a tumor suppressive failsafe mechanism

Alterations in the MAPK pathway are common in cancers, yet mutations are rarely found in patients. Here the authors find genomic amplifications of the PPP1CA gene in advanced and metastatic prostate cancer and identify a role for this phosphatase in the positive regulation of ERK signalling.
