“…Indeed, inhibition of PP2A by st-ag led to the activation of several signalling pathways mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinases, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/PKCf and Akt/PKB (Sontag et al, 1993(Sontag et al, , 1997Frost et al, 1994;Watanabe et al, 1996;Howe et al, 1998;Westphal et al, 1998;Garcia et al, 2000;Yuan et al, 2002). Wild-type, but not mutant, st-ag proteins deficient in PP2A binding can influence the activity of the transcription factors cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB), AP-1, NFkB, p53, Sp1, STAT3 and HOX11 (reviewed by Janssens & Goris, 2001;Lacroix et al, 2002). Moreover, st-ag can regulate both serum-and Sp1-responsive promoters in a PP2A-dependent fashion (Frost et al, 1994;Garcia et al, 2000).…”
