Abstract excerpt
p73 can activate transcription of p53-responsive genes, thereby inhibiting cell growth. An alternative promoter in the TP73 gene gives rise to an N-terminally truncated isoform of p73, ΔNp73, which lacks the transactivation domain of the full length TAp73 protein. TAp73 is considered pro-apoptotic, and ΔNp73 anti-apoptotic. In this study, we overexpressed ΔNp73β in p53 wild type and p53 mutant colon cancer cell...
