Recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming and confer resistance to targeted therapies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that the majority of the 18 analyzed recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming. The most potent mutations are activating, co‐operate with other ERBB receptors, and are sensitive to pan‐ERBB inhibitors. Activating ERBB4 mutations also promote therapy resistance in EGFR‐mutant lung cancer.

Inorganic Polyphosphate Modulates Chromosome Transmission Fidelity in the Fission Yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Biomolecules
Chromosome transmission fidelity is vital for organism fitness. Yet, extrinsic and intrinsic changes can affect this process, leading to aneuploidy, the loss/gain of chromosomes, which is a hallmark of cancer.

A General Mechanism for Network-Dosage Compensation in Gene Circuits [PDF]

, 2010
Coping with variations in network dosage is crucial for maintaining optimal function in gene networks. We explored how network structure facilitates network-level dosage compensation.

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Gene dosage architecture across complex traits.

medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences
Copy number variants (CNVs) have large effects on complex traits, but they are rare and remain challenging to study. As a result, our understanding of biological functions linking gene dosage to complex traits remains limited, and whether these functions sensitive to gene dosage are similar to those underlying the effects of rare single nucleotide ...

\u3cem\u3eAnolis\u3c/em\u3e Sex Chromosomes Are Derived from A Single Ancestral Pair [PDF]

, 2014
To explain the frequency and distribution of heteromorphic sex chromosomes in the lizard genus Anolis, we compared the relative roles of sex chromosome conservation versus turnover of sex‐determining mechanisms. We used model‐based comparative methods to

Combining antibody conjugates with cytotoxic and immune‐stimulating payloads maximizes anti‐cancer activity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Methods to improve antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) treatment durability in cancer therapy are needed. We utilized ADCs and immune‐stimulating antibody conjugates (ISACs), which are made from two non‐competitive antibodies, to enhance the entry of toxic payloads into cancer cells and deliver immunostimulatory agents into immune cells.
