Abstract excerpt
Chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) express several growth arrest-specific (GAS) gene products in G0. In contact-inhibited cells, the expression of the most abundant of these proteins, the p20K lipocalin, is activated at the transcriptional level by C/EBPbeta. In this report, we describe the role of C/EBPbeta in CEF proliferation. We show that the expression of a dominant negative mutant of C/EBPbeta (designated...
