HMGB1 and HMGB2 Cell-specifically Down-regulate the p53- and p73-dependent Sequence-specific Transactivation from the Human Bax Gene Promoter
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
The recently cloned gene p73 is a close homologue of p53, which is a crucial tumor suppressor gene for preventing the malignant transformation of cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Previous reports have shown that architectural DNA-bending/looping chromosomal proteins HMGB1 and HMGB2 (formerly known as HMG1 and HMG2), which function in a number of biological processes including transcription and...
