Oncogenic Mutants of MEK1: A Trilogy Unfolds.

Abstract excerpt

<b/> It has generally been assumed that MEK mutants function similarly to one another and respond in the same manner to targeted drugs. Gao and colleagues challenge this assumption and report that MEK1 mutants fall into three unique phenotypic classes with respect to RAF dependency.
