UV exposure inactivates Pin1 via the Death Associated Protein Kinase 1 (DAPK1, which belongs to a family of five serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) kinases that possess tumor suppressive functions and mediate a wide range of cellular processes, including apoptosis and autophagy), which stabilizes the pro-survival cis-isomeric ATR (Hilton et al., 2015; Singh et al., 2016). This evidence concerns the gene DAPK1 and neoplasm.
