Ckap2 Regulates Aneuploidy, Cell Cycling, and Cell Death in a p53-Dependent Manner
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
We used DNA microarray screening to identify Ckap2 (cytoskeleton associated protein 2) as a novel p53 target gene in a mouse erythroleukemia cell line. DNA damage induces human and mouse CKAP2 expression in a p53-dependent manner and p53 activates the Ckap2 promoter. Overexpressed Ckap2 colocalizes with and stabilizes microtubules. In p53-null cells, overexpression of Ckap2 induces tetraploidy with aberrant...
