Exome sequencing identifies recurrent somatic mutations in EIF1AX and SF3B1 in uveal melanoma with disomy 3.

TLDR
Using exome sequencing, recurrent somatic mutations in EIF1AX and SF3B1 are identified occurring in uveal melanomas with disomy 3, which rarely metastasize and are associated with poor prognosis.
Abstract
Michael Zeschnigk and colleagues identify recurrent somatic mutations of EIF1AX and SF3B1 in uveal melanomas with disomy 3. The EIF1AX mutations specifically alter the N-terminal tail of the protein and were found exclusively in tumors lacking SF3B1 mutations.

Comprehensive, Integrative Genomic Analysis of Diffuse Lower-Grade Gliomas.

Daniel J. Brat, +306 more
TL;DR: The integration of genomewide data from multiple platforms delineated three molecular classes of lower-grade gliomas that were more concordant with IDH, 1p/19q, and TP53 status than with histologic class.

Integrated Genomic Characterization of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Nishant Agrawal, +242 more
- 23 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: The genomic landscape of 496 PTCs is described and a reclassification of thyroid cancers into molecular subtypes that better reflect their underlying signaling and differentiation properties is proposed, which has the potential to improve their pathological classification and better inform the management of the disease.

The Genetic Evolution of Melanoma from Precursor Lesions

TL;DR: The succession of genetic alterations during melanoma progression was defined, showing distinct evolutionary trajectories for different melanoma subtypes, and an intermediate category of melanocytic neoplasia was identified, characterized by the presence of more than one pathogenic genetic alteration and distinctive histopathological features.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic and transcriptomic hallmarks of poorly differentiated and anaplastic thyroid cancers

TL;DR: These data support a model of tumorigenesis whereby PDTCs and ATCs arise from well-differentiated tumors through the accumulation of key additional genetic abnormalities, many of which have prognostic and possible therapeutic relevance.

RNA in cancer.

TL;DR: The regulation of gene expression by coding and non-coding RNA is introduced and both established and emerging roles for RNAs in cancer are discussed, highlighting the potential mechanisms by which these RNA subtypes contribute to cancer.

The eIF1A solution structure reveals a large RNA-binding surface important for scanning function.

TL;DR: NMR titration experiments showed that eIF1A binds single-stranded RNA oligonucleotides in a site-specific, but non-sequence-specific manner, hinting at an mRNA interaction rather than specific rRNA or tRNA binding.

Mutations in GNA11 in Uveal Melanoma

Journal ArticleDOI

The anti-tumor drug E7107 reveals an essential role for SF3b in remodeling U2 snRNP to expose the branch point-binding region.

TL;DR: It is concluded that SF3b is required for this remodeling, which exposes the BBR for tight U2 snRNP binding to pre-mRNA.

Domains of eIF1A that mediate binding to eIF2, eIF3 and eIF5B and promote ternary complex recruitment in vivo

TL;DR: A modular organization is proposed for eIF1A wherein a core ribosome‐binding domain is flanked by flexible segments that mediate interactions with other factors involved in recruitment of TC and release of eIF2–GTP–Met‐tRNAiMet ternary complex at subunit joining.
