Abstract excerpt
Tumor suppressor p53 controls cell cycle progression and apoptosis following DNA damage, thus minimizing carcinogenesis. Mutations in the human DDB2 gene generate the E subgroup of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP-E). We report here that XP-E strains are defective in UV irradiation-induced apoptosis due...
