Core Tip

Core tip: Calcyclin binding protein/Siah-1 interacting protein (CacyBP/SIP) is a component of the ubiquitination pathway. Our study showed that defects in G1 arrest led to an increase in embryonic fibroblast growth rate in SIP-/- mice, and CacyBP/SIP could promote G1/S transition of pancreatic cancer cells and regulate the glucose limitation-induced p27 degradation. In gastric cancer (GC) tissue, CacyBP/SIP was identified to be expressed in the nuclei and could translocate into the nucleus after induction with gastrin and promote cell proliferation; however, the mechanism remains unclear. In the present investigation, the mechanism of CacyBP/SIP nuclear translocation in promoting the growth of GC cells was studied.
