Moreover, a recent study also found that CDC-like kinase 3 (CLK3) or the cholangiocarcinoma-associated CLK3-Q607R mutant can directly phosphorylate USP13 at Tyr708, and promote its binding to c-Myc (Nayler et al., 1997; Zhou et al., 2020) (Figure 3B). The gene discussed is CLK3; the disease is cholangiocarcinoma.
