Great job Raj on your new paper out in Cell Reports!

A long standing question is how the oncogenic kinase AKT promotes cell cycle progression. This study shows that Cyclin F, a non-canonical Cyclin, and substrate receptor for the SCF family of ubiquitin ligases, is a bona fide AKT substrate. This connects oncogenic AKT signaling, which is recurrently activated in many cancers, to control of the core cell cycle oscillator. This study was a collaboration with out colleagues at UNC in the Liu lab. Read about it here
