Abstract excerpt
The proto-oncogene c-Myc encodes a transcription factor that is implicated in the regulation of cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Myc accelerates the rate of cell proliferation, at least in part, through its ability to down-regulate the expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p27(Kip1). Moreover, p27(Kip1) protein levels are regulated by ubiquitin-mediated turnover, leading to destruction by...
