Relocalized p27Kip1 Tumor Suppressor Functions as a Cytoplasmic Metastatic Oncogene in Melanoma
1 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
The p27 tumor suppressor negatively regulates G1 cell cycle progression. However, human malignancies rarely select for deletion/inactivation of p27, a hallmark of tumor suppressor genes. Instead, p27 is degraded or relocalized to the cytoplasm in aggressive malignancies, supporting the notion that p27 sequestration from its nuclear cyclin:cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) targets is critical. However, emerging cell...
