Identification of the KIF18A alpha-4 helix as a therapeutic target for chromosomally unstable tumor cells

Background: The mitotic kinesin, KIF18A, is required for proliferation of cancer cells that exhibit chromosome instability (CIN), implicating it as a promising target for treatment of a subset of aggressive tumor types. Determining regions of the KIF18A protein to target for inhibition will be impor...
