Liégeois, A. Silverman, L. Alland, L. Chin, J. Potes, K. Chen, I. Orlow, H-W. Lee, C. Cordon-Cardo, R.A. DePinho, "The INK4a tumor suppressor gene product, p19ARF, interacts with MDM2 and neutralizes MDM2's inhibition of p53," Cell, 92:713-23, March 20, 1998. (Cited in more than 265 papers since publication) All tumor suppressor pathways may not lead to their Rome, but for two pathways, a critical crossroads has been found on chromosome 9. This locus is called INK4a/ARF (inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 4a/alternative reading frame). It encodes two proteins. One of them, p16INK4a, functions in the Rb (retinoblastoma) ...
