Abstract excerpt
Splicing factor mutations are frequent in myeloid neoplasms, blood cancers, and solid tumors. Cancer cells harboring these mutations present a particular vulnerability to drugs that target splicing factors such as SF3b155 or CAPERα. Still, the arsenal of chemical probes that target the spliceosome is very limited. U2AF homology motifs (UHMs) are common protein interaction domains among splicing factors. They...
