Requirement of wild-type p53 protein for maintenance of chromosomal integrity
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal double-strand breaks (DSBs) occurring in mammalian cells can initiate genomic instability, and their misrepairs result in chromosomal deletion, amplification, and translocation, common findings in human tumors. The tumor-suppressor protein p53 is involved in maintaining genomic stability. In this study, we demonstrate that the deficiency of wild-type p53 protein may allow unrepaired DSBs to initiate...
