Abstract excerpt
DNA degradation is one of the biochemical hallmarks detected in apoptotic cells, and several nucleases have been reported to function cooperatively in this process. It has also been suggested that different sets of nucleases are activated by different stimuli, and induce distinct patterns of DNA degradation. Here we report that apoptosis-enhancing nuclease (AEN) is a novel direct target gene of p53. AEN is...
