Abstract excerpt
p53 transactivates the expression of a variety of genes by binding to specific DNA sequences within the promoter. We have investigated the ability of wild-type p53 and a non-DNA binding p53 mutant to activate the hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) promoter using chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter constructs. We also used deletion sequences of the HGF/SF promoter to identify which regions, if...
