Abstract excerpt
The p53-Mdm2 feedback loop is perceived to be critical for regulating stress-induced p53 activity and levels. However, this has never been tested in vivo. Using a genetically engineered mouse with mutated p53 response elements in the Mdm2 P2 promoter, we show that feedback loop-deficient Mdm2(P2/P2) mice are viable and aphenotypic and age normally. p53 degradation kinetics after DNA damage in radiosensitive...
