    Loss of tumor suppressor TMEM127 drives RET-mediated transformation through disrupted membrane dynamics

    Timothy J Walker, Eduardo Reyes-Alvarez ... Lois M Mulligan
    TMEM127 depletion alters membrane dynamics, promoting cell surface accumulation and constitutive activity of growth factor receptors, and ultimately providing a novel paradigm for oncogenesis through aberrant receptor localization and signaling.

    Ribosome subunit attrition and activation of the p53–MDM4 axis dominate the response of MLL-rearranged cancer cells to WDR5 WIN site inhibition

    Gregory Caleb Howard, Jing Wang ... William P Tansey
    Analysis of the action of WDR5 inhibitors in leukemia cells reveals decreased ribosome inventory, impaired protein synthesis, induction of nucleolar stress, and activation of p53 via alternative splicing of MDM4.

    N-cadherin directs the collective Schwann cell migration required for nerve regeneration through Slit2/3-mediated contact inhibition of locomotion

    Julian JA Hoving, Elizabeth Harford-Wright ... Alison C Lloyd
    N-cadherin and Slit2/3/Robo interactions provide the outward force to drive collective Schwann cell migration during nerve regeneration, identifying a dual role for N-cadherin in both adhesion and repulsion processes during Schwann cell collective migration.

    Recording and classifying MET receptor mutations in cancers

    Célia Guérin, David Tulasne
    Classification of MET mutations allows a better understanding of sensitivity and resistance to targeted therapies used in cancer.

    Convergent epigenetic evolution drives relapse in acute myeloid leukemia

    Kevin Nuno, Armon Azizi ... Ravindra Majeti
    Integrated analyses of acute myeloid leukemia genetics and epigenetics demonstrate that epigenetic evolution occurs in a convergent manner in the absence of DNA mutations at relapse post-chemotherapy.

    Early recovery of proteasome activity in cells pulse-treated with proteasome inhibitors is independent of DDI2

    Ibtisam Ibtisam, Alexei F Kisselev
    Genetic and biochemical approaches reveal that mammalian cells possess a novel DDI2 and transcription-independent pathway for the rapid recovery of proteasome activity after clinically relevant pulse treatment with proteasome inhibitors.

    The molecular basis of Abelson kinase regulation by its αI-helix

    Johannes Paladini, Annalena Maier ... Stephan Grzesiek
    High-resolution NMR data and precise kinase activity assays on Abelson kinase bearing mutations in its αI-helix identify the αI-helix parts involved in disassembly of Abelson’s regulatory core and kinase activation.

    DePARylation is critical for S phase progression and cell survival

    Litong Nie, Chao Wang ... Junjie Chen
    DePARylation is essential for cell survival and thus poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) expression correlates with cytotoxicity induced by PARG inhibition, which will benefit the development of PARG inhibitors for cancer treatment.

    STAT3 is a genetic modifier of TGF-beta induced EMT in KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer

    Stephen D'Amico, Varvara Kirillov ... Nancy C Reich
    Results show that STAT3 and KRAS jointly regulate oncogenic dependency of mutant KRAS cancer cells.

    Water-soluble 4-(dimethylaminomethyl)heliomycin exerts greater antitumor effects than parental heliomycin by targeting the tNOX-SIRT1 axis and apoptosis in oral cancer cells

    Atikul Islam, Yu-Chun Chang ... Pin Ju Chueh
    Multifaceted properties of the water-soluble derivative of antibiotic heliomycin enable it to offer greater antitumor value than its parent compound by inhibiting the tNOX-NAD+-SIRT1 axis to induce apoptosis.
