Fig. 1. The PTEN continuum in tumor suppression.

Fig. 1

PTEN function can be compromised via genetic disruption, which results in a stepwise loss of PTEN (50% or 100%). Posttranslational modifications, including ubiquitination and deubiquitination, of PTEN can fine-tune PTEN functionality via a continuum of tumor suppression. Notably the phenotypes acquired throughout the continuum of functional PTEN loss are differentially manifested depending on tissue type.
