Abstract excerpt
p73, a proposed tumor suppressor, shares significant amino acid sequence homology with p53. However, p73 is rarely mutated in tumors but it has been suggested that p73 is monoallelically expressed in some tissues. This latter feature would predispose p73 to gene inactivation because a single genetic 'hit' or the loss of the expressed parental allele would leave the cell without p73 activity. We examined the...
