Abstract excerpt
Human VRK1 (vaccinia-related kinase 1) is a novel serine-threonine kinase that regulates several transcription factors, including p53, ATF2 and c-Jun; and its loss results in defects of cell proliferation. VRK1 stabilizes p53 and the accumulated p53 downregulates VRK1 forming an autoregulatory loop. Wild-type p53, but not mutant p53, was able to downregulate VRK1 in the A549 lung carcinoma cell line. VRK1...
