14-3-3 proteins are abundantly expressed adaptor proteins that interact with a vast number of binding partners to regulate their cellular localization and function. They regulate substrate function in a number of ways including protection from dephosphorylation, regulation of enzyme activity, formation of ternary complexes and sequestration. They are key regulators of major cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, senescence and apoptosis (Ref.1 and 2). Apoptosis is a physiological process of cell death that pl...
