MYC-ATF4-ASS1 axis governs intracellular arginine synthesis and dictates the immune microenvironment in melanoma

Haiwei Mou, Veronika Yakovishina, Yeqing Chen, Min Xiao, Maggie Dunne, Nancy Shi, Monzy Thomas, Kristen M. DeRosa, Haiyin Li, Qin Liu, Meenhard Herlyn

The paper identifies the MYC-ATF4-ASS1 axis in melanoma that controls arginine synthesis and modulates immune responses, showing therapeutic potential with arginine depletors and BRAF/MEK inhibitors.
