Abstract excerpt
Menin is a tumor suppressor that is mutated in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1), an inherited tumor-prone syndrome. Because there is no obvious conserved structural domain in menin that suggests a biochemical function, little is known as to how menin suppresses tumorigenesis. Although menin interacts with a variety of nuclear proteins including transcription factors, it is unknown whether...
