Involvement of RNA Helicases p68 and p72 in Colon Cancer

Abstract excerpt

The homologous proteins p68 and p72 are members of the DEAD box family of RNA helicases. Here, we show that expression of both of these helicases strongly increases during the polyp-->adenoma-->adenocarcinoma transition in the colon. Furthermore, p68 and p72 form complexes with beta-catenin and promote the ability of beta-catenin to activate gene transcription. Conversely, simultaneous knockdown of p68 and p72...
