Synthetic lethality between the cohesin subunits <i>STAG1</i> and <i>STAG2</i> in diverse cancer contexts
2017-06-25
Abstract excerpt
Recent genome analyses have identified recurrent mutations in the cohesin complex in a wide range of human cancers. Here we demonstrate that the most frequently mutated subunit of the cohesin complex, STAG2 , displays a strong synthetic lethal interaction with its paralog STAG1 . Mechanistically, STAG1 loss abrogates sister chromatid cohesion in STAG2 mutated but not in wild-type cells leading to mitotic catast...
