BACKGROUND: About 50% of cutaneous melanoma (CM) harbors the activating BRAF MATERIALS AND METHODS: Immunoprecipitation coupled to mass spectrometry was employed to gain insight into Spry1 interactome. Spry1 gene was knocked-out using the CRISPR strategy in the BRAF-mutant cell lines. Transmission electron microscopy was used to assess the relationship between Spry1 expression and mitochondrial morphology. By using in vitro and in vivo models, the effects of Spry1 RESULTS: Spry1 was mainly located in mitochondria in BRAF CONCLUSIONS: Altogether, these findings identify Spry1 as a potential regulator of mitochondrial homeostasis, and uncover a previously unrecognized role for Spry1 in regulating nuclear HIF1α expression and angiogenesis in BRAF SIGNIFICANCE: Spry1
