The Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 Requires a Cofactor to Activate Transcriptionally the Human BAX Promoter
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
An important regulator of the proapoptotic BAX is the tumor suppressor protein p53. Unlike the p21 gene, in which p53-dependent transcriptional activation is mediated by a response element containing two consensus p53 half-sites, it previously was reported that activation of the BAX element by p53 requires additional sequences. Here, it is demonstrated that the minimal BAX response element capable of mediating...
