Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cancer cells are often aneuploid and frequently display elevated rates of chromosome mis-segregation, called chromosomal instability (CIN). CIN is caused by hyperstable kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) attachments that reduce the correction efficiency of erroneous K-MT attachments. UMK57, a chemical agonist of the protein MCAK (mitotic centromere-associated kinesin), improves chromosome segregation fidelity in CIN cancer cells by destabilizing K-MT attachments, but cells rapidly develop resistance. To determine the mechanism, we performed unbiased screens, which revealed increased phosphorylation in cells adapted to UMK57 at Aurora kinase A phosphoacceptor sites on BOD1L1 (protein biorientation defective 1-like-1). BOD1L1 depletion or Aurora kinase A inhibition eliminated resistance to UMK57. BOD1L1 localizes to spindles/kinetochores during mitosis, interacts with the PP2A phosphatase, and regulates phosphorylation levels of kinetochore proteins, chromosome alignment, mitotic progression, and fidelity. Moreover, the BOD1L1 gene is mutated in a subset of human cancers, and BOD1L1 depletion reduces cell growth in combination with clinically relevant doses of Taxol or Aurora kinase A inhibitor.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
