Abstract excerpt
Tumor suppressor p53 protein acts as a checkpoint factor following DNA damage. Inactivation of checkpoint control may increase the frequency of mutation following DNA damage, resulting in tumor progression. Here we examine whether wild-type (wt) p53 protein suppresses X-ray-induced mutations using an isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-regulated p53 expression system in human osteosarcoma Saos-2 cells....
