Mammalian p53 can function as a transcription factor in yeast
1 Jan 1992
Abstract excerpt
p53 has previously been shown to contain a transactivation domain using GAL4 fusion proteins and to bind specifically to a 33 base pair DNA sequence in immunoprecipitation assays. We show here that mammalian p53 expressed in S. cerevisiae is able to activate transcription of a reporter gene placed under the control of a CYC1 hybrid promoter containing the 33 base pair p53-binding sequence. The activation is...
