Unphosphorylated STAT5A stabilizes heterochromatin and suppresses tumor growth
3 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Tumor suppressors known to date impede cancer growth by arresting the cell cycle or promoting apoptosis. Here we show that unphosphorylated human STAT5A functions as a tumor suppressor capable of repressing multiple oncogenes via heterochromatin formation. Unphosphorylated STAT5A binds to heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) and stabilizes heterochromatin. Expressing unphosphorylated STAT5A or HP1α inhibits colon...
