    Chemical inhibition of prometastatic lysyl-tRNA synthetase–laminin receptor interaction

    Beyond its canonical role in translation, lysyl-tRNA synthetase (KRS) stabilizes the prometastatic 67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR) in the plasma membrane. A small-molecule inhibitor of the KRS-67LR interaction ...
