For example, retinoic acid treatment in leukemic cells promotes G₁ arrest and differentiation by triggering MAT1 down‑regulation and fragmentation, which in turn reduces CAK‑dependent phosphorylation of retinoic acid receptor‑α. Similar regulatory events are observed in myeloid cells during granulocytic differentiation, where the attenuation of MAT1 leads to a coordinated decrease in CAK activity and facilitates the transition from proliferation to differentiation.
