The Human MDM2 Oncoprotein Increases the Transcriptional Activity and the Protein Level of the p53 Homolog p63
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Genetic alteration of the p53 tumor suppressor gene, which monitors DNA damage and operates cell cycle checkpoints, is a major factor in the development of human malignancies. The p53 protein belongs to a family that also includes two structurally related proteins, p63 and p73. Although all three proteins share similar transcriptional functions and antiproliferative effects, each of them appears to play a...
