Abstract excerpt
We have explored the effects of the conditional MYC-estrogen receptor fusion protein, MYC-ERTM, in human mortal fibroblasts, WI38, on cell-cycle entry, apoptosis and gene expression. The results indicate that activation of MYC-ERTM in WI38 cells is sufficient to cause S phase entry of quiescent cells, which is preceded by phosphorylation of Rb and activation of the Cdk2-associated kinase. We also analysed the MYC...
