Abstract excerpt
p27(Kip1) and p21(Cip1) are thought to suppress tumor growth and prevent cell cycle progression by inhibiting Cdk2-cyclin E/A kinases. Since Cdk2 is dispensable for mitotic cell division, we analyzed the activity of these inhibitors in Cdk2-deficient cells. Ectopic expression of p27(Kip1) or p21(...
