Pulmonary Cell NewsThe authors demonstrated increased binding of a specific GA binding protein B1L (GABPB1L)-isoform–containing complex to the mutant telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter. They found that TERT promoter mutant glioblastoma cells, unlike wild-type cells, exhibited a critical near-term dependence on GABPB1L for proliferation.
