Abstract:SummaryCancer cells are often aneuploid and frequently display elevated rates of chromosome mis-segregation in a phenomenon called chromosomal instability (CIN). CIN is commonly caused by hyperstable kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) attachments that reduces the efficiency of correction of erroneous K-MT attachments. We recently showed that UMK57, a chemical agonist of MCAK (alias KIF2C), improves chromosome segregation fidelity in CIN cancer cells but that cells rapidly develop resistance to UMK57. To determine … Show more
