VOPP1 promotes breast tumorigenesis by interacting with the tumor suppressor WWOX

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene, frequently altered in breast cancer, encodes a tumor suppressor whose function is mediated through its interactions with cancer-related proteins, such as the pro-apoptotic protein p73α. RESULTS: To better understand the involvement of WWOX in breast tumorigenesis, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen and co-immunoprecipitation assays to identify...
