Abstract excerpt
In BRAF-mutated melanoma cells, the BRAF inhibitor, vemurafenib, induces phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) and subsequent induction of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), the central regulation node of the integrated stress response (ISR). While the ISR supports cellular adaptation to various stresses, the role of vemurafenib-triggered ISR has not been fully characterized. Here, we...
