Abstract excerpt
Although the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21SDI1 (WAF1/CIP1) has been proposed as the mediator of p53-induced cell cycle arrest following DNA damage, several stimuli now appear to induce SDI1 independent of p53 function. We have examined the behavior of p53 and SDI1 in an isogeneic model by manipulating p53 status in normal diploid human fibroblasts using an amphotropic retroviral vector. Following DNA...
