Growth suppression by p16ink4 requires functional retinoblastoma protein.
3 Jul 1995
Abstract excerpt
p16ink4 has been implicated as a tumor suppressor that is lost from a variety of human tumors and human cell lines. p16ink4 specifically binds and inhibits the cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6. In vitro, these kinases can phosphorylate the product of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene. Thus, p16ink4 could exert its function as tumor suppressor through inhibition of phosphorylation and functional...
