Abstract excerpt
Loss of Mdm2 or Mdm4 leads to embryo lethal phenotypes that are p53-dependent. To determine whether Mdm2 and Mdm4 inhibit p53 function redundantly in a more restricted cell type, conditional alleles were crossed to a neuronal specific Cre transgene to delete Mdm2 and Mdm4 in the CNS. Mice lacking Mdm2 in the CNS developed hydranencephaly at embryonic day 12.5 due to apoptosis, whereas Mdm4 deletion showed a...
