Abstract excerpt
ELAC2 is a novel candidate cancer susceptibility gene located on chromosome 17p: Carriers of mutations in ELAC2 display a higher risk of developing prostate cancer. Overexpression of ELAC2 in tumor cells causes a delay in G2-M progression characterized by accumulation of cyclin B levels. Consistent with a function in mitosis, further biochemical analysis revealed that ELAC2 physically interacts with the...
