A Sequentially Priming Phosphorylation Cascade Activates the Gliomagenic Transcription Factor Olig2
1 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
During development of the vertebrate CNS, the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Olig2 sustains replication competence of progenitor cells that give rise to neurons and oligodendrocytes. A pathological counterpart of this developmental function is seen in human glioma, wherein Olig2 is required for maintenance of stem-like cells that drive tumor growth. The mitogenic/gliomagenic functions of Olig2...
