Molecule Discovered Essential for Cell Growth and Division

Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, October 16th, 1995

In a basic biological science development, researchers at the Jefferson Cancer Institute at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have identified a new protein as essential for cell growth and division.

The new protein, PISSLRE, apparently becomes activated during the phase of the cellular life cycle known as G2 and continues to exert its effects until the M phase. Expression of PISSLRE by cellular DNA is essential for human cells to grow and divide properly.

The finding is presented in the September 15, 1995, issue of Cancer Research.

Jefferson researchers have been studying the relationship between proteins...
