Epigenetic ConFUSION: SS18-SSX Fusion Rewires BAF Complex to Activate Bivalent Genes in Synovial Sarcoma

Publication date: 11 June 2018
Source:Cancer Cell, Volume 33, Issue 6
Author(s): Marc A. Morgan, Ali Shilatifard
In this issue of Cancer Cell, McBride and colleagues report that the synovial sarcoma SS18-SSX fusion drives BAF complex recruitment to bivalent domains repressed by PRC2 complex to orchestrate aberrant transcriptional activation. Redistribution of BAF localization is a major driver of synovial sarcoma proliferation and presents a promising therapeutic target.
