Abstract excerpt
The tumour suppressor p53 protein regulates many genes involved in cellular responses to DNA damage. To date, a common transcriptionally active DNA-binding site for p53 in vivo has not been identified. The pGL3-Basic vector contains a modified fire-fly luciferase cDNA designated luc+ and is designed for studying putative regulatory sequences as it lacks any known eukaryotic promoter sequences. We report here that...
