Abstract

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) inhibits cell proliferation by inducing a G1-phase cell cycle arrest. Normal progression through G1 is promoted by the activity of the cyclin-dependent protein kinases CDK4 and CDK6, which are inhibited by the protein p16(INK4). We have isolated a new member of the p16(INK4) family, p15(INK4B). p15 expression is induced ~30-fold in human keratinocytes by treatment with TGF-β, suggesting that p15 may act as an effector of TGF-β-mediated cell cycle arrest. The gene encoding p15 is located on chromosome 9 adjacent to the p16 gene at a frequent site of chromosomal abnormality in human tumours (9p21).
