A second RING to destroy p27Kip1

The cell cycle regulator p27Kip1 must be degraded to permit cell division. Degradation is moderate in G1 phase, but is enhanced in S-phase. Now, a novel ubiquitin ligase that can ubiquitinate p27 leading to its proteolysis after mitogen stimulation has been identified.
