Regulation of the p53 tumor suppressor protein.
Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene occur in about 50% of all human tumors, making it the most frequent target for genetic alterations in cancer (for recent reviews on p53 see Refs. 1–5). Such mutations probably facilitate carcinogenesis primarily through abrogating the tumor suppressor activities of the wild type p53 protein, although at least some forms of tumor-associated mutant p53 p...
متن کاملMicrobial Regulation of p53 Tumor Suppressor
p53 tumor suppressor has been identified as a protein interacting with the large T antigen produced by simian vacuolating virus 40 (SV40). Subsequent research on p53 inhibition by SV40 and other tumor viruses has not only helped to gain a better understanding of viral biology, but also shaped our knowledge of human tumorigenesis. Recent studies have found, however, that inhibition of p53 is not...
متن کاملThe p53 tumor suppressor protein: meeting review.
The p53 protein is finally swimming into focus. This became clear at the Sixth International p53 meeting, which was held in Israel in Tiberias on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in early November 1992. In recent years, the p53 protein has captured the imagination of a broad spectrum of biomedical researchers. Because of its potentially central role in human cancer, there is considerable impetu...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Evaluation of Human p53 Tumor Suppressor Protein Content in Ductal Carcinoma in Situ of the Breast
The focus of this study was to determine if early detection of mutant p53 accumulation may be an early indicator of tumor aggressiveness and transformation to invasive breast cancer. For this purpose, the p53 content of 100 human breast biopsies classified as ductal carcinoma (DCIS), was evaluated by immunohistochemical method. All specimens were microscopically classified into histologic types...
متن کاملTumor suppressor p53: regulation and function.
The p53 protein is a transcription factor involved in maintaining genomic integrity by controlling cell cycle progression and cell survival. Mutations in p53 are the most frequently seen genetic alterations in human cancer. The function of p53 is critical to the way many cancer treatments kill cells because radiotherapy and chemotherapy act in part by triggering programmed cell death in respons...
