Abstract
Protein kinase inhibitors have become increasingly important therapeutic drugs for the treatment of human diseases; however, resistance and off-target effects can limit their use. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Ross et al. (2017) reveal a novel off-target mechanism where the Src kinase inhibitor SU6656 paradoxically primes AMPK for phosphorylation and activation by the upstream kinase LKB1.
