Abstract excerpt
Here we analyzed the effect of the suppressor proto-oncogene p53 on transcription from the P2 promoter of the murine c-myc gene. c-myc promoter constructs were coupled to the chloramphenicol acetyl-transferase (CAT) gene and were transiently transfected into a human glial cell along with plasmids overexpressing wild-type or mutant p53. It was found that significant repression of c-myc transcription took place...
