Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The hetero-trimeric PP2A serine/threonine phosphatases containing the regulatory subunit B56, and in particular B56γ, can function as tumor suppressors. In response to DNA damage, the B56γ subunit complexes with the PP2A AC core (B56γ-PP2A) and binds p53. This event promotes PP2A-mediated dephosphorylation of p53 at Thr55, which induces expression of p21, and the subsequent inhibition of cell...
