This stabilization enhances TAp63γ‑driven p21 transcription and promotes G1/S cell‑cycle arrest. A ligase‑deficient βTrCP1 mutant blocks these effects, confirming ubiquitylation is required. Overall, these findings reveal a mechanism by which SCFβTrCP1 differentially regulates p63 isoforms, advancing understanding of p63’s role in epithelial homeostasis and cancer. 000000346 540__ $$fCC BY 000000346 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000346 650__ $$aCell Cycle$$016278 000000346 650__ $$aUbiquitination$$038090 000000346 650__ $$aSKP Cullin F-Box Protein Ligases$$035541 000000346 650__ $$aTumor Suppressor Protein p53$$028922 000000346 650__ $$aProto-Oncogene Proteins p21(ras)$$029033 000000346 650__ $$aProtein Isoforms$$032074 000000346 650__ $$aS Phase$$028956 000000346 6531_ $$ap63 000000346 6531_ $$aactivation 000000346 6531_ $$ap53 family 000000346 6531_ $$ap21 000000346 6531_ $$ascf 000000346 6531_ $$abetatrcp 000000346 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000346 692__ $$aDepartment of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology$$041396 000000346 7001_ $$aGallegos, Jayme$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000346 7201_ $$aLu, Hua$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000346 8564_ $$9e3426ed5-fe8f-4e12-9af8-9cb291d46465$$s2099225$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/346/files/347_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2937e6bc72084397fc1127abc1bfdecfd$$31 000000346 905__ $$a/rest/prod/ms/35/t8/62/ms35t8620 000000346 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:346$$pstudent-work 000000346 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000346 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
