    basic FUNCTION
  • control cell cycle progression and growth arrest (Katsoulidis 2009)
  • promote growth inhibitory responses and modulate cell cycle progression by inhibiting cyclin D1 (Katsoulidis 2009)
  • SLFN11 expression is causally associated with the activity of DNA-damaging agents (DDAs) in cancer cells
  • is likely a component of the DNA damage response, enforcing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to exogenous DNA injuries
  • inhibits checkpoint maintenance and homologous recombination repair by promoting the destabilization of the RPA-ssDNA complex, thereby sensitizing cancer cell lines expressing high endogenous levels of SLFN11 to DNA-damaging agents
  • RPA1-binding ability of SLFN11 is required for its function in the DNA damage response

  • ETS1 acts as a positive regulator for SLFN11 expression in breast cancer cells
  • SLFN11 interacts directly with RPA1 and is recruited to sites of DNA damage in an RPA1-dependent manner
