Fig. 6

RB can form complexes with SKP2 preventing SKP2 from supporting ubiquitination and degradation of p27 (KIP1, CDKN1B). The CDK inhibitor p27 is then available to block cyclin A/E-CDK2 activity. These cyclin-CDK complexes have a preference for p130 as substrate. Inhibiting p130 phosphorylation yields hypophosphorylated p130, which then enables formation of the DREAM transcriptional repressor.
