Interferon alpha-inducible protein 6 regulates NRASQ61K-induced melanomagenesis and growth
Mutations in the NRAS oncogene are present in up to 20% of melanoma.Here, we show that interferon alpha-inducible protein 6 (IFI6) is necessary for NRASQ61K-induced transformation and melanoma growth.IFI6 was transcriptionally upregulated by NRASQ61K, and knockdown of IFI6 resulted in DNA replication stress due to dysregulated DNA replication via E
