Non-proteolytic ubiquitination of Hexokinase 2 by HectH9 controls tumor metabolism and cancer stem cell expansion

Cancer cells develop specific metabolic adaptations. Here, the authors show that in prostate cancer models, the ubiquitin ligase Hect9 promotes tumor growth by accelerating glucose metabolism via ubiquitination of Hexokinase 2, a central regulator of glycolysis.
