Naoe et al., Cancer Sci 2006
(Hematologic Neoplasms...) :
Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a nucleolar phosphoprotein that plays multiple roles in ribosome assembly and transport, cytoplasmic-nuclear trafficking, centrosome duplication and regulation of p53 Bergstralh et al., Exp Cell Res 2007
(Lung Neoplasms) :
Mass spectroscopy identified the protein as nucleophosmin/B23 (NPM), a multifunctional protein with diverse roles : ribosome biosynthesis, p53 regulation , nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling, and centrosome duplication
Mantel et al., Blood 1999
(Polyploidy) :
p53 has already been implicated in centrosome regulation
