RETRACTED ARTICLE: Distinct Action of the Retinoblastoma Pathway on the DNA Replication Machinery Defines Specific Roles for Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Complexes in Prereplication Complex Assembly and S-Phase Progression

Abstract excerpt

The retinoblastoma (RB) and p16ink4a tumor suppressors are believed to function in a linear pathway that is functionally inactivated in a large fraction of human cancers. Recent studies have shown that RB plays a critical role in regulating S phase as a means for suppressing aberrant proliferation and controlling genome stability. Here, we demonstrate a novel role for p16ink4a in replication control that is...
