Regulation of p53 by TopBP1: a Potential Mechanism for p53 Inactivation in Cancer
16 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Proper control of the G(1)/S checkpoint is essential for normal proliferation. The activity of p53 must be kept at a very low level under unstressed conditions to allow growth. Here we provide evidence supporting a crucial role for TopBP1 in actively repressing p53. Depletion of TopBP1 upregulates p53 target genes involved in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and enhances DNA damage-induced apoptosis. The...
