| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined the relationship between overexpression of Geminin protein due to abnormal regulation of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and tumorigenesis. Stabilized Geminin by phosphorylation on Thr25 inhibited pre-replication complex formation via inhibition of Cdt1 loading to chromosome at G1 phase. Overexpression of Gemini protein by abnormal regulation of Thr25 phosphorylation was not observed in cancer cells, but constitutive phosphorylation on Thr25 was observed in some cancer cells. Thus, we investigated how overexpression of geminin protein via prevention from ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis caused by constitutive Thr25 phosphorylation contribute to tumorigenesis.
