“…Cell types and stages of di erentiation are listed. Potential binding partners of p21 are proposed to di er at di erent stages, and include interactions postulated to mediate cell cycle inhibition (cyclin-cdk's, PCNA, E2F, TOK-1), apoptosis-inhibition (ASK, SAPK, procaspase-3, gadd45, myd118), proliferation (set, TK-1, cyclin-cdk4), subcellular localization (calmodulin, ciz-1), gene expression (E2F, CKII, p300) and di erentiation (C/EBPalpha, Stat3, p300, E2F) di erentiation stimulus is necessary for di erentiation commitment but not for growth arrest, whereas a later peak in p21 is associated with growth arrest (Casini and Pelicci, 1999;Matushansky et al, 2000b;Meiyanto et al, 2001).…”
