Abstract excerpt
The functions of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), a tumor suppressor, depend on its subcellular localization. At the plasma membrane, PTEN dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate to inhibit AKT signaling, whereas nuclear PTEN contributes to the maintenance of genomic stability. Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are widely used to assess PTEN's subcellular localization;...
