Retinoblastoma Tumor Suppressor Targets dNTP Metabolism to Regulate DNA Replication
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor, RB, is a negative regulator of the cell cycle that is inactivated in the majority of human tumors. Cell cycle inhibition elicited by RB has been attributed to the attenuation of CDK2 activity. Although ectopic cyclins partially overcome RB-mediated S-phase arrest at the replication fork, DNA replication remains inhibited and cells fail to progress to G(2) phase. These data...
