Mutations within chromatin modulating protein complexes have dominated the novel cancer gene landscape. However, little is known about how individual aberrations contribute to cancer formation. A novel Pbrm1 kidney cancer mouse model examining the role of Pbrm1 provides much needed clue concerning how SWI/SNF complexes might function as tumor suppressors.
染色质调节蛋白复合物中的突变主导了新的癌症基因格局。然而,对于单个畸变如何促成癌症形成却知之甚少。一种研究Pbrm1作用的新型Pbrm1肾癌小鼠模型,为SWI/SNF复合物如何作为肿瘤抑制因子发挥作用提供了急需的线索。
