Sp1 phosphorylation by cyclin-dependent kinase 1/cyclin B1 represses its DNA-binding activity during mitosis in cancer cells
Sp1 is important for the transcription of many genes. Our previous studies have shown that Sp1 is degraded in normal cell, but it is preserved in cancer cells during mitosis and exists a priori in the daughter ce...

Loss of the candidate tumor suppressor BTG3 triggers acute cellular senescence via the ERK–JMJD3–p16INK4a signaling axis
The B-cell translocation gene 3 (BTG3) is a member of the antiproliferative BTG gene family and a downstream target of p53. BTG3 also binds and inhibits E2F1. Although it connects functionally two major growth-re...
