The wild-type protein product of the p53 tumor suppressor gene can activate transcription of genes which are involved in mediating either growth arrest, e.g. WAF1 or apoptotis, e.g. BAX and PICG3. Additionally, p53 can repress a variety of promoters, which, in turn, may be responsible for the functional activities exhibited by p53. This study shows that the Q22, S23 double mutation, which is known to inactivate a...
