Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMOB3A, a member of the Mps-one binder (MOB) protein family, has been identified as a critical regulator that enables primary cell proliferation under oncogenic stress. Unlike the canonical MOB1A/B proteins that promote Hippo pathway signaling, MOB3A acts as an inhibitor of the Hippo pathway kinases (MST/LATS), thereby suppressing oncogene‐induced senescence in the face of activated RAS and BRAF signals. This inhibition results in a bypass of senescence, a phenotype that resembles the effects observed with elevated YAP activity, and ultimately promotes cell proliferation. Moreover, reduction of MOB3A expression not only impairs cell proliferation but also diminishes tumor growth, underscoring its potential as a target in cancer therapeutics."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Kendall Dutchak, Sam Garnett, Mary Nicoll, et al.
