Abstract excerpt
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 biological properties. In addition p73 and p63 are, in contrast to...
