Kip1 meets SKP2: new links in cell-cycle control

Abstract

The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1 is degraded in a phosphorylation- and ubiquitin-dependent way upon cell-cycle entry. p45SKP2, the adaptor subunit of the ubiquitin–protein ligase SCFSKP2, may mediate recognition and ubiquitination of phosphorylated p27Kip1.
