摘要:
The phosphatase that activates the Merlin tumour suppressor (also known as neurofibromatosis 2) has been identified. It's a myosin phosphatase that is inhibited by the endogenous inhibitor CPI-17, which is often upregulated in human tumours and may contribute to the development of cancer by inactivating Merlin. Taken together, these findings point to a novel cascade of tumour suppressors whose action can be abolished in at least two ways, by mutation (NF2) or upregulation of the putative novel oncogene, CPI-17.
