Characterization of the human p53 gene. [PDF]
Cosmid and lambda clones containing the human p53 gene were isolated and characterized in detail. The gene is 20 kilobases (kb) long and has 11 exons, the first and second exons being separated by an intron of 10 kb. Restriction fragments upstream of sequences known to be within the first identified exon were tested for promoter activity by cloning ...

p73 and p63 are two recently discovered p53 homologs. Like p53, these proteins can recognize canonical p53 DNA-binding sites and, when overproduced, can activate p53-responsive target genes and induce apoptosis. Unlike p53, these genes undergo complex alternative splicing which, at least in the case of p63, yields proteins with widely divergent ...

Introducción. El TP53 es un gen supresor de tumores localizado en la región cromosómica 17p13.1; controla el ciclo celular y se encuentra alterado en cerca de 50% de todas las neoplasias. Objetivos.

The Emerging p53 Gene Family [PDF]
Perturbation of p53 protein function is a common, if not universal, finding in human cancer. Tumor suppression by p53 is due, at least in part, to its ability to activate transcription of certain genes involved in cell cycle control and apoptosis (programmed cell death).

A Comprehensive and High-Resolution Genome-wide Response of p53 to Stress
Tumor suppressor p53 regulates transcription of stress-response genes. Many p53 targets remain undiscovered because of uncertainty as to where p53 binds in the genome and the fact that few genes reside near p53-bound recognition elements (REs).

Insights into Regulators of p53 Acetylation
The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of dozens of target genes and diverse physiological processes. To precisely regulate the p53 network, p53 undergoes various post-translational modifications and alters the ...

Targeting mutant p53 for cancer therapy: direct and indirect strategies
TP53 is a critical tumor-suppressor gene that is mutated in more than half of all human cancers. Mutations in TP53 not only impair its antitumor activity, but also confer mutant p53 protein oncogenic properties.

Involvement of the p53/p21 complex in p53-dependent gene expression
The p53 tumor suppressor regulates cell functions either by acting as a transcription factor or by interacting with other proteins. Previously, we reported that the non-transcriptional actions of p53 can be facilitated by the binding of p53 to p21. Herein, we investigated whether p53/p21 interaction influences the transcriptional activity of p53.
