Spotlight on p63 p63, Cellular Senescence and Tumor Development
Deficiency of p63, a p53-related protein, causes severe defects in epithelial morphogenesis. Studies of p63-compromised mouse models reveal that p63 deficiency induces cellular senescence both in cultured cells and in vivo, through regulation p19Arf/p53 and p16Ink4a/Rb pathways. An extensive tumor study of p63-compromised mice demonstrated that p63 deficiency does not predispose to, but rather ...
متن کاملp63-associated disorders.
Heterozygous mutations in the transcription factor gene p63 are causative for several syndromes, with ectodermal dysplasia, orofacial clefting and limb malformations as the key characteristics. Different combinations of these features are seen in five different syndromes, of which ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip/palate syndrome (EEC) is the most common one. Mutations in p63 can...
متن کاملNeurodevelopment on Route p63
All known members of the p53 gene family, including the two homologs p73 and p63, have multiple biological functions. In neurons, p53 and p73 are known to regulate cell death in the developing and adult nervous system. A report by Jacobs et al. in this issue of Neuron shows that the more ancestral member of this gene family, p63, is an essential proapoptotic protein during neuronal development.
متن کاملConnecting p63 to Cellular Proliferation
An unresolved issue regards the role of p73 and p63, the two homologs of the p53 oncosuppressor gene, in normal cells and in tumor development. Specific target genes for each protein need to be identified and characterized in order to understand the specific role of each protein in tumor initiation and progression as well as in oncosuppression and development. We tested whether p63 is implicate...
متن کاملHeterozygous Germline Mutations in the p53 Homolog p63 Are the Cause of EEC Syndrome
EEC syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and facial clefts. We have mapped the genetic defect in several EEC syndrome families to a region of chromosome 3q27 previously implicated in the EEC-like disorder, limb mammary syndrome (LMS). Analysis of the p63 gene, a homolog of p53 located in the critical LMS/EEC interval, revealed heterozyg...
