Abstract excerpt
Cancer cell lines selected for resistance to microtubule targeting agents (MTA) often have acquired mutations in the β-tubulin binding sites for these agents. Despite strong correlational evidence, the functional and quantitative significance of such mutations in the resistance to MTA remains unknown. We recently showed that peloruside A (PLA) and laulimalide (LAU)-resistant cancer cell lines, 1A9-R1 (R1) and...
