Abstract excerpt
The cytotoxicity of ionizing radiation (IR) has been associated with both the p53 pathway and with DNA mismatch repair (MMR). p53 mediates cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to X-ray damage, whereas the MMR complex is thought to recognize damaged bases and initiate a signal transduction pathway that can include phosphorylation of p53. To determine whether p53 and MMR mediate X-ray cytotoxicity via the...
