In the future, it will be interesting to investigate whether FER and YES co-regulate microtubule stability in ovarian cancers in terms of modulating CRMP2 activity on microtubules as YES is expressed in some ovarian cancer cell lines and also involved in the phosphorylation at Y479 of CRMP2 in the ovarian cancer cell line (Supplementary Fig. 3g–i). The gene discussed is YES1; the disease is ovarian cancer.
