Abstract excerpt
The CDK inhibitor, p21, exhibits an antiapoptotic or proapoptotic effect, in addition to its anti-proliferative effect, depending on the conditions. To define the apoptosis-regulatory function of p21, we constructed cells that stably express C-terminal deletion mutants of p21 (full length 164aa), 1-157, 1-147 or 1-128, and evaluated the apoptotic response of these cells. The AnnexinV positive cell fraction after...
