Role of T198 modification in the regulation of p27(Kip1) protein stability and function.

The tumor suppressor gene p27(Kip1) plays a fundamental role in human cancer progression. Its expression and/or functions are altered in almost all the different tumor histotype analyzed so far. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the tumor suppression function of p27 resides not only in the abi...
