Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor p53 is frequently mutated in human cancers. Upon activation it can induce cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. ASPP2 can specifically stimulate the apoptotic function of p53 but not cell cycle arrest, but the mechanism of enhancing the activation of pro-apoptotic genes over cell cycle arrest genes remains unknown. In this study, we analyzed the binding of 53BP2 (p53-binding protein 2, the...
