A human oncogene formed by the fusion of truncated tropomyosin and protein tyrosine kinase sequences [PDF]
A biologically active complementary DNA clone of a transforming gene present in a human colon carcinoma contains gene sequences of both tropomyosin and a previously unknown protein tyrosine kinase. The predicted protein (641 amino acids) encoded by this oncogene seems to have been formed by a somatic rearrangement that replaced the extracellular domain

Hyperthermia Selectively Destabilizes Oncogenic Fusion Proteins
Abstract The PML/RARα fusion protein is the oncogenic driver in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Although most APL cases are cured by PML/RARα-targeting therapy, relapse and resistance can occur due to drug-resistant mutations.

Analysis of CD74 Occurrence in Oncogenic Fusion Proteins
CD74 is a type II cell surface receptor found to be highly expressed in several hematological and solid cancers, due to its ability to activate pathways associated with tumor cell survival and proliferation. Over the past 16 years, CD74 is emerging as a commonly detected fusion partner in multiple oncogenic fusion proteins.

The fusion partner specifies the oncogenic potential of NUP98 fusion proteins [PDF]
NUP98 is among the most promiscuously translocated genes in hematological diseases. Among the 28 known fusion partners, there are two categories: homeobox genes and non-homeobox genes. The homeobox fusion partners are well-studied in animal models, resulting in HoxA cluster overexpression and hematological disease.

Genetic fusions favor tumorigenesis through degron loss in oncogenes
Chromosomal rearrangements can generate genetic fusions composed of two distinct gene sequences, many of which have been implicated in tumorigenesis and progression.

Foretinib is a potent inhibitor of oncogenic ROS1 fusion proteins [PDF]
Significance ROS1 fusion kinases are critical oncogenes in several malignancies, suggesting that ROS1 inhibitors are likely to be effective molecularly targeted therapies in these patients. Although phase I/II clinical trials using the ALK/ROS1 inhibitor crizotinib to treat ROS1 fusion-harboring non–small-cell ...

FGFR3-TACC3 is an oncogenic fusion protein in respiratory epithelium [PDF]
Structural rearrangements of the genome can drive lung tumorigenesis through the generation of fusion genes with oncogenic properties. Advanced genomic approaches have identified the presence of a genetic fusion between fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) and transforming acidic coiled-coil 3 (TACC3) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC ...

Dissecting the early steps of MLL induced leukaemogenic transformation using a mouse model of AML
The oncogene MLL is frequently translocated in leukemia, resulting in oncogenic fusion proteins. Here, the authors report a temporally controlled mouse model of MLL-ENL driven leukemia AND identify therapeutic targets associated with early MLL-ENL driven

The synovial sarcoma-associated SYT-SSX2 oncogene antagonizes the polycomb complex protein Bmi1. [PDF]
This study demonstrates deregulation of polycomb activity by the synovial sarcoma-associated SYT-SSX2 oncogene, also known as SS18-SSX2. Synovial sarcoma is a soft tissue cancer associated with a recurrent t(X:18) translocation event that generates one ...
