Abstract excerpt
DNA repair is required by organisms to prevent the accumulation of mutations and to maintain the integrity of genetic information. Mammalian cells that have been treated with agents that damage DNA have an increase in p53 levels, a p53-dependent arrest at G1 in the cell cycle, and a p53-dependent apoptotic response. It has been hypothesized that this block in cell cycle progression is necessary to allow time for...
