Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor gene p16(INK4a) inhibits the kinase activity of the cyclin-dependent kinase 4-6/cyclin D complexes and subsequent phosphorylation of critical substrates necessary for transit through the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Recent studies suggested that control of the G1/S boundary might not be the sole biological function of p16(INK4a). We hypothesized that p16(INK4a) might influence hitherto unknown...
