Abstract excerpt
To dissect the p53-dependent apoptotic pathway, events following induction of temperature sensitive (ts) p53val138 were studied in a Ewing tumor cell line. Transcriptional deregulation of p53 targets first observable after 1 h at 32 degrees C preceded activation of caspases and the break-down of mitochondrial respiratory activity. Activation of caspases was first observed 4 h after p53 induction. Using peptide...
