A unique hyperdynamic dimer interface permits small molecule perturbation of the melanoma oncoprotein MITF for melanoma therapy - Cell Research Microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) regulates melanocyte development and is the “lineage-specific survival” oncogene of melanoma. MITF is essential for melanoma initiation, progression, and relapse and has been considered an important therapeutic target; however, direct inhibition of MITF...
