    Hyperactivation of ERK by multiple mechanisms is toxic to RTK-RAS mutation-driven lung adenocarcinoma cells

    Arun M Unni, Bryant Harbourne ... Harold Varmus
    Cancer cells driven by mutations in KRAS or EGFR are dependent on DUSP6 to prevent ERK-induced cell death, creating a novel vulnerability for targeted therapy.

    Synergistic interactions with PI3K inhibition that induce apoptosis

    Yaara Zwang, Oliver Jonas ... William C Hahn
    A geneome-scale shRNA screen identifies five genes whose suppression promotes cell death upon PI3K inhibition both in vitro and in vivo, thus suggesting potential combination therapies involving PI3K inhibition.

    Werner syndrome helicase is a selective vulnerability of microsatellite instability-high tumor cells

    Simone Lieb, Silvia Blaha-Ostermann ... Simon Wöhrle
    Targeting Werner syndrome helicase might constitute a novel opportunity for the treatment of a clinically defined subset of patients harboring MSI-H/MMR-deficient tumors.

    Specialization of the chromatin remodeler RSC to mobilize partially-unwrapped nucleosomes

    Alisha Schlichter, Margaret M Kasten ... Bradley R Cairns
    A SWI/SNF-family chromatin remodeling subcomplex from yeast is identified (RSC1) that is specialized to slide nucleosomes residing on DNA sequences that confer partial nucleosome unwrapping, with assistance from accessory factors.

    Synthetic protein interactions reveal a functional map of the cell

    Lisa K Berry, Guðjón Ólafsson ... Peter H Thorpe
    Forcing protein associations across the proteome reveals the cell's tolerance for diverse protein interactions and reveals the interactions that affect growth.

    Functional mapping of yeast genomes by saturated transposition

    Agnès H Michel, Riko Hatakeyama ... Benoît Kornmann
    A new method maps functional and structural features of yeast genomes with unprecedented ease and throughput, which allows identification of protein domains at the genome scale.

    SPOP mutation leads to genomic instability in prostate cancer

    Gunther Boysen, Christopher E Barbieri ... Mark A Rubin
    SPOP mutations underlie a novel, genomically unstable subclass of prostate cancer by altering DNA repair.

    Structural basis for interdomain communication in SHIP2 providing high phosphatase activity

    Johanne Le Coq, Marta Camacho-Artacho ... Daniel Lietha
    The SHIP2 inositol phosphatase is an important upstream regulator of the Akt signaling pathway, which requires a catalytic core formed by the phosphatase domain tightly packed to a C2 domain for its function.
