Abstract excerpt
RAC1A159V is a hotspot mutation associated with poor prognosis in several cancers. By gene editing, we generated endogenous homozygous and heterozygous RAC1A159V mutations, which result in up-regulated RAC1 activity and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. RAC1A159V tumors grow faster than RAC1WT tumors in immune-proficient mice and are resistant to anti-programmed death protein 1 (PD1). Flow cytometry...
