Determining the ERK-regulated phosphoproteome driving KRAS-mutant cancer
Open accessAbstract
To delineate the mechanisms by which the ERK1 and ERK2 mitogen-activated protein kinases support mutant KRAS–driven cancer growth, we determined the ERK-dependent phosphoproteome in KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer. We determined that ERK1 and ERK2 share near-identical signaling and transforming outputs and that the KRAS-regulated phosphoproteome is driven nearly completely by ERK. We identified 4666 ERK-dependent phosphosites on 2123 proteins, of which 79 and 66%, respectively, were not previously associated with ERK, substantially expanding the depth and breadth of ERK-dependent phosphorylation events and revealing a considerably more complex function for ERK in cancer. We established that ERK controls a highly dynamic and complex phosphoproteome that converges on cyclin-dependent kinase regulation and RAS homolog guanosine triphosphatase function (RHO GTPase). Our findings establish the most comprehensive molecular portrait and mechanisms by which ERK drives KRAS-dependent pancreatic cancer growth.

Recent work characterizes complex and dynamic signaling changes following KRAS inhibition, particularly delayed emergence of adaptive and compensatory mechanisms that contribute to acquired resistance.
“These findings are in line with recent work characterizing the complex and dynamic signaling changes following KRAS inhibition, particularly the delayed emergence of adaptive and compensatory mechanisms that contribute to acquired resistance.37”
From Therapeutic targeting of syndecan-1 axis overcomes acquired resistance to KRAS-targeted therapy in gastrointestinal cancers (2025) · cites this paper as [37]
The Discussion describes a highly dynamic response to KRAS–ERK inhibition, with delayed adaptive and compensatory activities. The time-course experiments in Results used ERK inhibition, and the Discussion says those activities *may* drive acquired resistance; the citing sentence presents their contribution to resistance as established following KRAS inhibition.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
