Defective K-Ras oncoproteins overcome impaired effector activation to initiate leukemia in vivo
2 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Reversing the aberrant biochemical output of oncogenic Ras proteins is one of the great challenges in cancer therapeutics; however, it is uncertain which Ras effectors are required for tumor initiation and maintenance. To address this question, we expressed oncogenic K-Ras(D12) proteins with "second site" amino acid substitutions that impair PI3 kinase/Akt or Raf/MEK/ERK activation in bone marrow cells and...
