Negative Regulation of Chk2 Expression by p53 Is Dependent on the CCAAT-binding Transcription Factor NF-Y

Abstract excerpt

The kinase Chk2 and tumor suppressor p53 participate in an ill defined regulatory interaction in mammalian cells. The abundance of Chk2 mRNA and protein has now been shown to be decreased by the induction of p53 in Saos2 cells. Ionizing radiation also triggered the phosphorylation and subsequent down-regulation of Chk2 in human colorectal HCT116 (p53(+/+)) cancer cells; irradiation of its isogenic mutant HCT116...
