Pim-1 kinase phosphorylates RUNX family transcription factors and enhances their activity
9 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The pim family genes encode oncogenic serine/threonine kinases which in hematopoietic cells have been implicated in cytokine-dependent signaling as well as in lymphomagenesis, especially in cooperation with other oncogenes such as myc, bcl-2 or Runx family genes. The Runx genes encode alpha-subunits of heterodimeric transcription factors which regulate cell proliferation and differentiation in various...
