Abstract
A CRISPR dropout screen for tRNA regulators identified YRDC as the top essential gene in glioblastoma stem cells. Threonine acts as a substrate of YRDC to facilitate the N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t6A) tRNA modification and shift translation toward mitosis-related genes with a codon bias. Our findings support targeting glioblastoma growth by a well-tolerated dietary therapy.
期刊介绍：
Cancer is a devastating disease responsible for millions of deaths worldwide. However, many of these deaths could be prevented with improved prevention and treatment strategies. To achieve this, it is crucial to focus on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment methods, and understanding the socioeconomic factors that influence cancer rates.
Nature Cancer aims to serve as a unique platform for sharing the latest advancements in cancer research across various scientific fields, encompassing life sciences, physical sciences, applied sciences, and social sciences. The journal is particularly interested in fundamental research that enhances our understanding of tumor development and progression, as well as research that translates this knowledge into clinical applications through innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Additionally, Nature Cancer welcomes clinical studies that inform cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, along with contributions exploring the societal impact of cancer on a global scale.
In addition to publishing original research, Nature Cancer will feature Comments, Reviews, News & Views, Features, and Correspondence that hold significant value for the diverse field of cancer research.
