Repression of the basal c-fos promoter by wild-type p53.
Mutations in the p53 gene are the most common genetic alterations observed in many inherited and sporadic forms of human cancer. Recent studies indicate that wild-type p53 may be involved in the regulation of gene expression. In the present report we examined the effect of p53 on the human c-fos promoter. Using a transient co-transfection assay we show that wild-type human p53, but not a transf...
متن کاملTranscriptional repression by wild-type p53 utilizes histone deacetylases, mediated by interaction with mSin3a.
There is growing evidence that the p53 tumor suppressor protein not only can function to activate gene transcription but also to repress the expression of specific genes. Although recent studies have implicated the transcriptional repression function of p53 in the pathway of apoptosis, the molecular basis of this activity remains poorly understood. This study takes a first step toward elucidati...
متن کاملWild-type p53 binds to MYC promoter G-quadruplex
G-quadruplexes are four-stranded nucleic acid structures that are implicated in the regulation of transcription, translation and replication. Genome regions enriched in putative G-quadruplex motifs include telomeres and gene promoters. Tumour suppressor p53 plays a critical role in regulatory pathways leading to cell cycle arrest, DNA repair and apoptosis. In addition to transcriptional regulat...
متن کاملTranscriptional activation of the human S100A2 promoter by wild-type p53.
S100A2, a calcium binding protein of the EF-hand family, was recently identified to be inducible by etoposide, a p53 activator. A potential p53 binding site was identified in the promoter of the S100A2 gene, which binds to purified p53 as well as p53 in nuclear extract activated by etoposide. Transactivation assays using the promoter driven luciferase reporters revealed that the S100A2 promoter...
متن کاملSignal integration at the c-fos promoter.
The c-fos gene encodes a basic region-leucine zipper transcription factor that requires heterodimerization with a member of the Jun family for stable DNA binding. Fos/Jun heterodimers are present in the AP-1 transcription factor complex and both c-Fos and c-Jun are capable of transforming cells (1). Continuous expression of c-fos can lead to aberrant differentiation (2) but may also sometimes b...
