A cancer-associated missense mutation in PP2A-Aα increases centrosome clustering during mitosis
2019-03-07
Abstract excerpt
A single incidence of whole-genome doubling (WGD) is common early in tumorigenesis. In addition to increasing ploidy, WGD doubles centrosome number. In the ensuing mitoses, excess centrosomes form a multipolar spindle, resulting in a lethal multipolar cell division. To survive, cells must cluster centrosomes into two poles to allow a bipolar cell division. Cancer cells are typically more proficient at centrosome c...
