Abstract excerpt
Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) phosphorylates Thr320 of protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1alpha) in late G(1), thereby inhibiting its activity. Phosphorylation-resistant PP1alphaT320A, acting as a constitutively active (CA) mutant, causes a late G(1) arrest by preventing the phosphorylation and inactivation of the retinoblastoma protein (pRb). Both PP1alpha-mediated G(1) arrest and PP1alpha phosphorylation in late...
