A G1 checkpoint mediated by the retinoblastoma protein that is dispensable in terminal differentiation but essential for senescenceSrikanth Talluri
Department of Biochemistry, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada
Mol Cell Biol 30:948-60. 2010..Remarkably, this reveals that pRB recruits chromatin regulators primarily to engage a stress-responsive G(1) arrest program...
The retinoblastoma family of proteins and their regulatory functions in the mammalian cell division cycleShauna A Henley
London Regional Cancer Program, Western University, London, Ontario, Canada
Cell Div 7:10. 2012..This propels the cell cycle irreversibly forward leading to DNA synthesis. This review will focus on the basic biochemistry and cell biology governing the regulation and activity of mammalian RB family proteins in cell cycle control...
Structure-function analysis of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein - is the whole a sum of its parts?Frederick A Dick
London Regional Cancer Program, London, Ontario, Canada
Cell Div 2:26. 2007..This article will also discuss the prospects for using this approach to further explore the unknown functions of pRB...
Sweet DREAMs for HippoFrederick A Dick
London Regional Cancer Program, London, Ontario N6A 4L6, Canada
Genes Dev 25:889-94. 2011..Three recent studies in Genes & Development reveal how cellular proliferation is coordinated between these pathways. Here we discuss the implications of these studies and the new questions that they raise...
A cancer derived mutation in the Retinoblastoma gene with a distinct defect for LXCXE dependent interactionsShauna A Henley
London Regional Cancer Program, 790 Commissioners Road East, London, Ontario, N6A 4L6, Canada
Cancer Cell Int 10:8. 2010..CONCLUSIONS: Our work provides proof of principal that alleles encoding distinct, partial loss of function mutations in the retinoblastoma gene that specifically lose LXCXE dependent interactions, are found in human cancer...
Mitotic chromosome condensation mediated by the retinoblastoma protein is tumor-suppressiveCourtney H Coschi
London Regional Cancer Program, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada
Genes Dev 24:1351-63. 2010..These data reveal a new mechanism of tumor suppression, facilitated by pRB, in which genome stability is maintained by proper condensation of mitotic chromosomes...
Chromosome instability and deregulated proliferation: an unavoidable duoCourtney H Coschi
London Regional Cancer Program, University of Western Ontario, ON, Canada
Cell Mol Life Sci 69:2009-24. 2012....
A context-specific role for retinoblastoma protein-dependent negative growth control in suppressing mammary tumorigenesisSarah M Francis
London Regional Cancer Program, London, Ontario, Canada
PLoS ONE 6:e16434. 2011....
A functional connection between pRB and transforming growth factor beta in growth inhibition and mammary gland developmentSarah M Francis
London Regional Cancer Program, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario N6A4L6, Canada
Mol Cell Biol 29:4455-66. 2009..Taken together, our work demonstrates a unique functional connection between pRB and TGF-beta in growth control and mammary gland development...
DNA damage signals through differentially modified E2F1 molecules to induce apoptosisJasmyne Carnevale
London Regional Cancer Program, London, Ontario, Canada
Mol Cell Biol 32:900-12. 2012..Our data suggest that DNA damage signals alter pRB and E2F1 to engage them in functions leading to apoptotic induction that are distinct from pRB-E2F regulation in cell cycle control...
The retinoblastoma protein regulates pericentric heterochromatinChristian E Isaac
Cancer Research Labs, 790 Commissioners Road East, London, Ontario, Canada, N6A 4L6
Mol Cell Biol 26:3659-71. 2006..These results demonstrate the surprising finding that pRb uses the LXCXE binding cleft to control chromatin structure for the regulation of events beyond the G(1)-to-S-phase transition...
The biochemical basis of CDK phosphorylation-independent regulation of E2F1 by the retinoblastoma proteinMatthew J Cecchini
London Regional Cancer Program, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, N6A 4L6, Canada
Biochem J 434:297-308. 2011..These data reveal a mechanism by which E2F1 regulation by pRB can persist, when pRB is hyperphosphorylated and presumed to be inactive...
Regulation of transcription and chromatin structure by pRB: here, there and everywhereSrikanth Talluri
London Regional Cancer Program, Department of Biochemistry, Western University, London, ON, Canada
Cell Cycle 11:3189-98. 2012..In this review we discuss pRB function through protein-protein interactions, at the level of transcriptional regulation of individual promoters and in organizing higher order chromatin domains...
