Abstract excerpt
Human pituitary tumor-transforming gene (PTTG), known also as securin, is a multifunctional protein implicated in the control of mitosis and the pathogenesis of thyroid, colon, oesophageal and other tumour types. Critical to PTTG function is a C-terminal double PXXP motif, forming a putative SH3-interacting domain and housing the gene's sole reported phosphorylation site. The exact role of phosphorylation and...
