[PDF][PDF] BRAF mutants evade ERK-dependent feedback by different mechanisms that determine their sensitivity to pharmacologic inhibition

Z Yao, NM Torres, A Tao, Y Gao, L Luo, Q Li… - Cancer cell, 2015 - cell.com
ERK signaling requires RAS-induced RAF dimerization and is limited by feedback. Activated
BRAF mutants evade feedback inhibition of RAS by either of two mechanisms. BRAF V600 …

Tumours with class 3 BRAF mutants are sensitive to the inhibition of activated RAS

Z Yao, R Yaeger, VS Rodrik-Outmezguine, A Tao… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Approximately 200 BRAF mutant alleles have been identified in human tumours. Activating
BRAF mutants cause feedback inhibition of GTP-bound RAS, are RAS-independent and …

Overcoming mTOR resistance mutations with a new-generation mTOR inhibitor

VS Rodrik-Outmezguine, M Okaniwa, Z Yao… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Precision medicines exert selective pressure on tumour cells that leads to the preferential
