Yet the prevailing tendency to study individual modifications in isolation has obscured a defining feature of PTM biology: modifications frequently interact, competing for the same residue or cooperating across residues to form regulatory switches that dictate protein fate. This review synthesizes the PTM crosstalk framework in gastric cancer around three principal axes\u2014phosphorylation\u2013ubiquitination relays, SUMOylation\u2013ubiquitination interplay, and metabolic coupling through lactylation\u2014and traces how these axes translate into the hallmarks of proliferation, metastasis, therapeutic resistance, and immune evasion. The framework is further extended to colorectal cancer to separate shared regulatory principles from cancer-specific switches. Central to this account is the proposition that oncogenic output is governed not by any single modification but by the balance among competing and cooperating marks, and that the switch enzymes maintaining this balance constitute the most informative therapeutic targets. Translating this view into therapy will require selective degraders and inhibitors, crosstalk-aware biomarkers, and systematic multi-omics maps of the modification network.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers18193107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]],"date-time":"2026-09-24T16:29:53Z","timestamp":1790267393000},"page":"3107","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Post-Translational Modification Crosstalk in Gastric Cancer: Molecular Switches, Signaling Networks, and Therapeutic Opportunities, with Comparative Insights from Colorectal Cancer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0801-9796","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou 310000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianying","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Pathophysiology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou 310000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuehua","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou 310000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"229","article-title":"Global cancer statistics 2022: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries","volume":"74","author":"Bray","year":"2024","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
