The Spliceosome Scaffold Component BCAS2 Promotes Pancreatic Cancer Progression through Weak 5 Splice Site Dependent Splicing Regulation

Ledong Wan, Mei Wang, Yuma Ishigami…·Adrian R. Krainer

This study identifies BCAS2 as a critical regulator of PDAC progression by promoting alternative splicing of weak 5' splice sites, specifically enhancing SOS1 exon 21 inclusion and RAC-signaling activation.

MARK2/MARK3 kinases are catalytic co-dependencies of YAP/TAZ in human cancer

Olaf Klingbeil, Damianos S. Skopelitis, Claudia Tonelli…·Christopher R. Vakoc

This study identifies MARK2/3 as essential kinases for YAP/TAZ function in cancer and shows their inhibition can restore Hippo pathway tumor suppression.
