On this basis, one might hypothesize that, like Thr 58 mutation, a decrease in Pin1 activity should potentiate the oncogenic action of Myc: this putative tumor suppressive effect of Pin1 might be further reinforced by its positive action on p53 [11, 15], a key suppressor of Myc-induced lymphomagenesis [16]. Here, MYC is linked to neoplasm.
