Abstract excerpt
Tumor-associated mutants of the p53 tumor suppressor protein exert biological activities compatible with an oncogenic gain of function. To explore the underlying molecular mechanism, we performed microarray analysis, comparing p53-null cells to mutant p53-expressing cells. One of the genes up-regulated in the presence of mutant p53 was EGR1, a transcription factor implicated in growth control, apoptosis, and...
