Abstract excerpt
Expression of a beta-lactoglobulin (BLG)/mdm2 transgene (BLGmdm2) in the epithelial cells of the mouse mammary gland causes an uncoupling of S phase from M phase, resulting in polyploidy and tumor formation. The cell cycle defects are independent of interactions with p53. Because MDM2 also binds and activates the S phase-specific transcription factor E2F1, we hypothesized that increased E2F1 activity causes the...
