Journal ArticleDOI

Interpreting cancer genomes using systematic host network perturbations by tumour virus proteins

TL;DR: It is shown that systematic analyses of host targets of viral proteins can identify cancer genes with a success rate on a par with their identification through functional genomics and large-scale cataloguing of tumour mutations, to increase the specificity of cancer gene identification.
Journal ArticleDOI

DYRK1A protein kinase promotes quiescence and senescence through DREAM complex assembly

TL;DR: This work reports that DYRK1A can specifically phosphorylate LIN52 on serine residue 28, and that this phosphorylation is required for DREAM assembly, and reveals an important role for DYRk1A in the regulation of DREAM activity and entry into quiescence.
Journal ArticleDOI

A kinase shRNA screen links LATS2 and the pRB tumor suppressor.

TL;DR: A functional connection between the pRB and Hippo tumor suppressor pathways is revealed, and it is suggested that low levels of LATS2 may undermine the ability of pRB to induce a permanent cell cycle arrest in tumor cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural mechanisms of DREAM complex assembly and regulation.

TL;DR: The structure explains the specificity for p107/p130 over Rb in the DREAM complex and how the complex is disrupted by viral oncoproteins and addressed how DREAM is disassembled upon cell cycle entry.
