Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumor suppressor protein induces apoptosis through a mechanism that may involve the transcriptional activation of cellular genes, including the PIG3 gene. A p53 protein lacking the proline-rich region (p53delta62-91) induces many p53-responsive genes but not PIG3. In parallel, this mutant induces growth arrest but not apoptosis. We show here that the replacement of the N-terminal (amino acids 1-80) or...
