Abstract excerpt
In this issue of the Journal of Pathology, Bardella et al report a method for identifying tumours that lack fumarate hydratase. The approach they use is immunodetection of proteins that have been modified by a non-enzymatic reaction of thiol groups in proteins with fumarate, which is termed succination. Validation included the use of mice with targeted inactivation of fumarate hydratase in the kidney, extensive...
