Mutation of the LXCXE binding cleft of pRb facilitates transformation by ras in vitro but does not promote tumorigenesis in vivo.
BACKGROUND: The Retinoblastoma protein (pRB) is a key tumor suppressor that is functionally inactivated in most cancers. pRB regulates the cell division cycle and cell cycle exit through protein-protein interactions mediated by its multiple binding interfaces. The LXCXE binding cleft region of pRB m...
