Abstract excerpt
Earlier studies have shown both p53-dependent and -independent tumor-suppressive functions of B56gamma-specific protein phosphatase 2A (B56gamma-PP2A). In the absence of p53, B56gamma-PP2A can inhibit cell proliferation and cell transformation by an unknown mechanism. In the presence of p53, on DNA damage, a complex including B56gamma-PP2A and p53 is formed, which leads to Thr55 dephosphorylation of p53,...
