INK4a/ARF: a multifunctional tumor suppressor locus

NE Sharpless - … Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of …, 2005 - Elsevier
The INK4a/ARF locus encodes two physically linked tumor suppressor proteins, p16INK4a

Mdm2 regulates p53 independently of p19ARF in homeostatic tissues

KA O'Leary, SM Mendrysa, A Vaccaro… - Molecular and cellular …, 2004 - Am Soc Microbiol
Tumor suppressor proteins must be exquisitely regulated since they can induce cell death
while preventing cancer. For example, the p19 ARF tumor suppressor (p14 ARF in humans) …

p53-independent apoptosis is induced by the p19ARF tumor suppressor

K Tsuji, K Mizumoto, H Sudo, K Kouyama… - Biochemical and …, 2002 - Elsevier
p19ARF is a potent tumor suppressor. By inactivating Mdm2, p19ARF upregulates p53
activities to induce cell cycle arrest and sensitize cells to apoptosis in the presence of …

The differential impact of p16INK4a or p19ARF deficiency on cell growth and tumorigenesis

NE Sharpless, MR Ramsey, P Balasubramanian… - Oncogene, 2004 - nature.com
Mounting genetic evidence suggests that each product of the Ink4a/Arf locus, p16 INK4a and
p19 ARF, possesses tumor-suppressor activity (Kamijo et al., 1997; Krimpenfort et al., 2001; …

Mutations in human ARF exon 2 disrupt its nucleolar localization and impair its ability to block nuclear export of MDM2 and p53

Y Zhang, Y Xiong - Molecular cell, 1999 - cell.com
The mammalian ARF-INK4a locus uniquely encodes two cell cycle inhibitors by using
separate promoters and alternative reading frames. p16 INK4a maintains the retinoblastoma …

ARF function does not require p53 stabilization or Mdm2 relocalization

C Korgaonkar, L Zhao, M Modestou… - Molecular and cellular …, 2002 - Am Soc Microbiol
It is generally accepted that the ARF tumor suppressor induces p53-dependent growth arrest
by sequestering the p53 antagonist Mdm2 in the nucleolus. Previous mutagenic studies of …

J Silva, G Domínguez, JM Silva, JM García, I Gallego… - Oncogene, 2001 - nature.com
The INK4a/ARF locus encodes two unrelated cell cycle-regulatory proteins that both function
in tumor suppression, p16INK4a and p14ARF. In human tumors including breast cancer …

p53 gene mutation and ink4a-arf deletion appear to be two mutually exclusive events in human glioblastoma

G Fulci, M Labuhn, D Maier, Y Lachat, O Hausmann… - Oncogene, 2000 - nature.com
Abstract P16 and P14ARF are two tumor suppressors encoded by the locus ink4a-arf which
