Abstract excerpt
CDC4/FBXW7 is part of a ubiquitin ligase complex which targets molecules such as cyclin E, c-myc, and c-jun for destruction. CDC4 mutations occur in several cancer types and are best described in colorectal tumors. Knockout of CDC4 in vitro in colorectal cancer cells causes changes suggestive of chromosomal instability (CIN). In p53(+/-) mice, radiation-induced lymphomas show deletion or mutation of one copy of...
