The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21WAF1/Cip1 is the prototype downstream effector of the tumor suppressor protein p53. Yet, evidence from human cancer and mice models, imply that p21WAF1/Cip1, under certain conditions, can exercise oncogenic activity. The mechanism behind this behavior is stil...
The cell cycle orchestrates the events that lead to cell replication and division. AMBRA1 is a scaffold factor that interacts with the E3 ubiquitin ligase DDB1-CRL4 complex to regulate the stability of Cyclin D-type proteins, key regulators of the G1-S phase transition. However, the role of AMBRA1 i...

CDK11 is a cyclin-dependent kinase with a role in transcription and RNA splicing and represents a potential target of anticancer treatment. This study investigated the interconnection between CDK11 and the p53 tumour suppressor protein. We show that blocking CDK11 functions with selective OTS964 inh...
