Abstract excerpt
The stability of the mammalian genome depends on the proper function of G1 and G2 cell cycle control mechanisms. Two tumor suppressors, p53 and retinoblastoma (Rb), play key roles in progression from G1 into S-phase. We address the mechanisms by which these proteins mediate a G1 arrest in response to DNA damage and limiting metabolic conditions. Gamma-irradiation induced a prolonged, p53-dependent G1 arrest...
