Polycystins: Inhibiting the inhibitors Journal Article


Author: Benezra, R.
Article Title: Polycystins: Inhibiting the inhibitors
Abstract: Polycystin-1 and -2 - two integral membrane proteins that are mutated in polycystic kidney disease - regulate the cell cycle by preventing nuclear localization of the pro-proliferative helix-loop-helix (HLH) protein Id2. This novel mechanism for restraining Id proteins has important implications for our understanding of the nature of polycystic kidney disease and perhaps other proliferative disorders. ©2005 Nature Publishing Group.
