Historical Background

The protein p57Kip2 (hereafter called p57) was independently identified by two groups in 1995. It belongs to the family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI) CIP/KIP along with p21Cip1 (hereafter called p21) and p27Kip1 (hereafter called p27). The role of this CKI family is to inhibit cell cycle progression by binding to cyclin D-CDK4/CDK6 and cyclin E/cyclin A-CDK2 complexes (Lee et al. 1995; Matsuoka et al. 1995). Studies from knockout (KO) mice in late 1990s revealed that CIP/KIP members exert only partially overlapping functions. In particular, while mice lacking p21 or p27 are viable, p57 KO mice are characterized by perinatal lethality and severe developmental defects. Moreover, the knock-in of p27 in p57 KO mice only partially overcomes the phenotype (Yan et al. 1997; Susaki et al. 2009).

While p21 and p27 have a wide tissue distribution, p57 expression is strictly regulated. The...
