Abstract excerpt
Exposure of mammalian cells to ultraviolet (UV) light and other DNA-damaging agents triggers the UV response which is characterized by induction of a large number of genes including c-fos, c-jun, and the genes for DNA repair enzymes and cell-cycle regulatory proteins such as p21 WAF1 and p53. Upon DNA damage, the p53 tumor suppressor protein transmits signals to restrict cell-cycle progression, thereby allowing...
