  text: High-throughput live-cell screens are intricate elements of systems biology
    studies and drug discovery pipelines. Here, we demonstrate an optogenetics-assisted
    method that avoids the need for chemical activators and reporters, reduces the
    number of operational steps and increases information content in a cell-based
    small-molecule screen against human protein kinases, including an orphan receptor
    tyrosine kinase. This blueprint for all-optical screening can be adapted to many
    drug targets and cellular processes.

  text: The ability to escape apoptosis is a hallmark of cancer-initiating cells and
    a key factor of resistance to oncolytic therapy. Here, we identify FAM96A as a
    ubiquitous, evolutionarily conserved apoptosome-activating protein and investigate
    its potential pro-apoptotic tumor suppressor function in gastrointestinal stromal
    tumors (GISTs). Interaction between FAM96A and apoptotic peptidase activating
    factor 1 (APAF1) was identified in yeast two-hybrid screen and further studied
    by deletion mutants, glutathione-S-transferase pull-down, co-immunoprecipitation
    and immunofluorescence. Effects of FAM96A overexpression and knock-down on apoptosis
    sensitivity were examined in cancer cells and zebrafish embryos. Expression of
    FAM96A in GISTs and histogenetically related cells including interstitial cells
    of Cajal (ICCs), “fibroblast-like cells” (FLCs) and ICC stem cells (ICC-SCs) was
    investigated by Northern blotting, reverse transcription—polymerase chain reaction,
    immunohistochemistry and Western immunoblotting. Tumorigenicity of GIST cells
    and transformed murine ICC-SCs stably transduced to re-express FAM96A was studied
    by xeno- and allografting into immunocompromised mice. FAM96A was found to bind
    APAF1 and to enhance the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis. FAM96A protein
    or mRNA was dramatically reduced or lost in 106 of 108 GIST samples representing
    three independent patient cohorts. Whereas ICCs, ICC-SCs and FLCs, the presumed
    normal counterparts of GIST, were found to robustly express FAM96A protein and
    mRNA, FAM96A expression was much reduced in tumorigenic ICC-SCs. Re-expression
    of FAM96A in GIST cells and transformed ICC-SCs increased apoptosis sensitivity
    and diminished tumorigenicity. Our data suggest FAM96A is a novel pro-apoptotic
    tumor suppressor that is lost during GIST tumorigenesis.
