Abstract excerpt
The B-Raf(V600E) mutant, found in 65% of human melanomas, drives constitutive activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway and is implicated in tumorigenesis. Recently, we showed that B-Raf is important for spindle formation and the mitotic spindle checkpoint arrest. In this study, we demonstrate that B-Raf(V600E) signaling deregulates the spindle checkpoint as a consequence of...
