Mutations in splicing factor SF3B1 promote transformation through MYC stabilization
- Authors
- Yoshimi, AkihideFabbri, Giulia
- Description
Summary from the GEO: "Although mutations in the RNA splicing factor SF3B1 are frequently observed in multiple human cancers, their functional role in promoting tumorigenesis and therapeutic significance remain poorly understood. Here we characterize the splicing landscape of 79 tumors and 12 isogenic cell lines harboring SF3B1 hotspot mutations, identifying hundreds of cryptic 3’ splice site (ss)...

- Description
Summary from the GEO: "We report that the protein encoded by the SMARCB1 gene, SNF5, is capable of inhibiting MYC binding in vitro and in a malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) cell line. By comparing the effects of reintroduction of SNF5 with genetic inhibition of MYC (OMOMYC) on multiple aspects of chromatin remodeling and transcription in MRT cells, we show that regulation of MYC binding by SNF5 is not...
