Targeting mRNA Decapping in AML

Publication date: 12 March 2018
Source:Cancer Cell, Volume 33, Issue 3
Author(s): Akihide Yoshimi, Omar Abdel-Wahab
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Yamauchi et al. identify a dependency of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) on DCPS, which catalyzes the final step of 3′-to-5′ mRNA decay and is implicated in numerous aspects of RNA metabolism. DCPS is targetable with a clinical inhibitor, underscoring the translational importance of this discovery.
