Genetic interaction between HAP1/REF-1 and p53

Using peptides to study the interaction between the p53 tetramerization domain and HIV-1 Tat.

Peptides are valuable tools for studying protein-protein interactions, especially in cases of isolated protein domains and natively unfolded proteins. Here, we used peptides to quantitatively characterize the interaction between the natively unfolded HIV-1 Tat protein and the tetramerization domain of the cellular tumor suppressor protein p53. We used peptide mapping, fluorescence anisotropy, a...

p53 Codon 72 Genetic Polymorphism in Asthmatic Children: Evidence of Interaction With Acid Phosphatase Locus 1

Several lines of evidence are implicating an increased persistence of apoptotic cells in patients with asthma. This is largely due to a combination of inhibition, or defects in the apoptotic process and/or impaired apoptotic cell removal mechanisms. Among apoptosis-inducing genes, an important role is played by p53. In the present study, we have investigated the possible relationship between p5...

Genetic interaction between Kit and Scl.

SCL/TAL1, a tissue-specific transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix family, and c-Kit, a tyrosine kinase receptor, control hematopoietic stem cell survival and quiescence. Here we report that SCL levels are limiting for the clonal expansion of Kit⁺ multipotent and erythroid progenitors. In addition, increased SCL expression specifically enhances the sensitivity of these progenitors t...
