Abstract excerpt
ΔNp73α, a dominant-negative inhibitor of p53 and p73, exhibits antiapoptotic and transforming activity in in vitro models and is often found to be upregulated in human cancers. The mechanisms involved in the regulation of ΔNp73α protein levels in normal and cancer cells are poorly characterized. Here, we show that that IκB kinase beta (IKKβ) increases ΔNp73α protein stability independently of its ability to...
