- Abstract
- Cancers arise owing to the accumulation of mutations in critical genes
that alter normal programmes of cell proliferation, differentiation and
death. As the first stage of a systematic genomewide screen for these
genes, we have prioritized for analysis signalling pathways in which at
least one gene is mutated in human cancer. The RASRAFMEKERKMAP kinase
pathway mediates cellular responses to growth signals1. RAS is mutated to
an oncogenic formin about 15% of human cancer. The three RAF genes code
for cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinases that are regulated by binding
RAS13. Here we report BRAF somatic missense mutations in 66% of malignant
melanomas and at lower frequency in a wide range of human cancers. All
mutations are within the kinase domain, with a single substitution (V599E)
accounting for 80%.Mutated BRAF proteins have elevated kinase activity and
are transforming in NIH3T3 cells. Furthermore, RAS function is not
required for the growth of cancer cell lines with the V599E mutation. As
BRAF is a serine/threonine kinase that is commonly activated by somatic
point mutation in human cancer, it may provide new therapeutic
opportunities in malignant melanoma (literal)
