Abstract P1-03-05: Separase Over Expression Co-Operates with Loss of p53 in Promoting Aberrant Proliferation, Delayed Involution and Accumulation of DNA Damage in the Mouse Mammary Epithelium
Abstract:Background: Aneuploidy is a common feature of human tumors, often correlating with poor prognosis. Several proteins involved in the mitotic spindle checkpoint are thought to play a major role in aneuploidy suppression. Specifically, the cohesin proteins that regulate sister chromatid separation and Separase, the endopeptidase that cleaves Rad21 to remove cohesion and allow timely cell cycle progression are thought to play key roles in maintaining normal cellular ploidy and preventing accumulation of abnormal c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
