Abstract excerpt
Aspartate-594 is the third most common BRAF residue mutated in human cancer. Mutants of this residue are kinase inactive, and the mechanism(s) by which they contribute to cancer has remained perplexing. Using a conditional knock-in mouse model, we show that the (D594A)Braf mutant does not drive tumor development per se but is able to induce aneuploidy in murine splenocytes and mouse embryonic fibroblasts and...
