Abstract excerpt
p27(kip1) is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor and a tumor suppressor. In some tumors, p27 suppresses tumor growth by inhibition of cell proliferation. However, this is not universally observed, implying additional mechanisms of tumor suppression by p27. p27-deficient mice are particularly susceptibility to genotoxin-induced tumors, suggesting a role for p27 in the DNA damage response. To test this hypothesis,...
