Transcriptional profiling in C. elegans suggests DNA damage dependent apoptosis as an ancient function of the p53 family
15 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In contrast to the three mammalian p53 family members, p53, which is generally involved in DNA damage responses, and p63 and p73 which are primarily needed for developmental regulation, cep-1 encodes for the single C. elegans p53-like gene. cep-1 acts as a transcription activator in a primordial p53 pathway that involves CEP-1 activation and the CEP-1 dependent transcriptional induction of the worm...
