Abstract excerpt
Genes encoding c-ABL kinase and BCR protein are targeted by yet-unknown mechanisms causing DNA double-strand breaks resulting in the generation of a chimeric gene encoding BCR/ABL fusion tyrosine kinase. BCR/ABL kinase displays transforming activity because of its constitutive kinase activity causing deregulated proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and adhesion. Moreover, BCR/ABL kinase is able to...
