We have developed a screening platform for the isolation of genetic entities involved in metastatic reactivation. Retroviral libraries encoding cDNAs from highly metastatic breast cancer cells or pooled microRNAs were transduced into breast cancer cells that become dormant upon infiltrating the lung...

Metastatic relapse of breast cancer and other tumor types usually occurs several years after surgical resection of the primary tumor. Early dissemination of tumor cells followed by an extended period of dormancy is thought to explain this prevalent clinical behavior. By using a gain-of-function retr...

Current models imply that the FERM domain protein Merlin, encoded by the tumor suppressor NF2, inhibits mitogenic signaling at or near the plasma membrane. Here, we show that the closed, growth inhibitory form of Merlin accumulates in the nucleus, binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4DCAF1, and supp...
