Tuberin phosphorylation regulates its interaction with hamartin. Two proteins involved in tuberous sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

Hamartin and tuberin are products of the tumor suppressor genes, TSC1 and TSC2, respectively. When mutated, a characteristic spectrum of tumor-like growths develop resulting in the syndrome of tuberous sclerosis complex. The phenotypes associated with TSC1 and TSC2 mutations are largely indistinguishable suggesting a common biochemical pathway. Indeed, hamartin and tuberin have been shown to interact stably in...
