Inactivation of the p16(INK4a) tumor suppressor protein is critical for the development of human cancers, including human melanoma. However, the molecular basis of the protein's inhibitory effect on cancer development is not clear. Here we investigated a possible mechanism for p16(INK4a) inhibition of neoplastic transformation and UV-induced skin cancer. We show that p16(INK4a) suppresses the activity of c-Jun N-terminal kinases ... [more]
