Abstract excerpt
Tumour suppressor p53 has been shown to inhibit fibroblast growth factor 2 expression post-transcriptionally in cultured cells. Here we have investigated the mechanism responsible for this post-transcriptional blockade. Deletion mutagenesis of the FGF-2 mRNA leader revealed the requirement of at least four RNA cis-acting elements to mediate the inhibitory effect of p53 in SK-Hep-1 transfected cells, suggesting...
