PKC Dependent p14ARF Phosphorylation on Threonine 8 Drives Cell Proliferation

Abstract ARF role as tumor suppressor has been challenged in the last years by several findings of different groups ultimately showing that its functions can be strictly context dependent. We previously showed that ARF loss in HeLa cells induces spreading defects, evident as rounded morphology of de...
