Phosphorylation of RAB7 by TBK1/IKKϵ Regulates Innate Immune Signaling in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease enriched for mutations in PTEN and dysregulation of innate immune signaling. Here, we demonstrate that Rab7, a recently identified substrate of PTEN phosphatase activity, is also a substrate of the innate immune signaling kinases TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)/IκB kinase ε (IKKε) on the same serine-72 (S72) site. An unbiased search for novel TBK1/IKKε substrates using stable isotope...
