Abstract:LIM protein-domain containing protein Ajuba (encoded by AJUBA) functions as a scaffold protein to regulate protein-protein interactions, signalling transduction and genes transcription. AJUBA expression is higher in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues than normal tissues, but its specific molecular function in CRC progression is still not very clear. Here, we found that, in CRC cancer cell lines, overexpression of AJUBA decreased p53 levels, whereas knock-down of AJUBA significantly increased p53 levels. Although … Show more
