BACKGROUND: Recently, a vertebrate securin [pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) in humans] has been identified that inhibits sister chromatid separation and is involved in malignant transformation and tumorigenesis. Abundance of this protein would disrupt cell division, generate chromosomal instability and thereby increase cell susceptibility to acquisition of further mutations during subsequent division....
