Hardwired synthetic lethality within the cohesin complex in human cancer cells
2017-04-08
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...
