p53 Family: Role of Protein Isoforms in Human Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
TP53, TP63, and TP73 genes comprise the p53 family. Each gene produces protein isoforms through multiple mechanisms including extensive alternative mRNA splicing. Accumulating evidence shows that these isoforms play a critical role in the regulation of many biological processes in normal cells. Their abnormal expression contributes to tumorigenesis and has a profound effect on tumor response to curative therapy. This paper is an overview of isoform diversity in the p53 family and its role in cancer.

The gene TP53 (also known as protein 53 or tumor protein 53), encoding transcription factor P53, is mutated or deleted in half of human cancers, demonstrating the crucial role of P53 in tumor suppression. There are reports of nearly 250 independent germ line TP53 mutations in over 100 publications. The P53 protein has the structure of a transcription factor and, is made up of several domains. T...

Background: P53, p63, and p73 transcription factors which are belong to The p53 family, are conserved during evolution. They have important roles in many molecular and cellular functions, including tumor suppression, the development of epithelial cell layers, and the development of central nervous system and immune system. Studies show these molecules also have role in maintaining the genomic i...
متن کاملp53 family proteins in thyroid cancer.
At variance with other human malignancies, p53 mutations are not frequent in thyroid cancer and are believed to be responsible mainly for cancer progression to poorly differentiated and aggressive phenotype. p63 and p73, two proteins with a high degree of homology with p53, are overexpressed in thyroid cancer, but their role in cancer initiation or progression is controversial. Regulation of p5...

a key factor in spermatogenesis and disorders associated with this protein have been recognized to be related to male infertility. Although it was suggested that this protein could have different functions during germ cell development, no studies have been conducted to uncover the mechanism of this potential function yet. Here, we analyzed the expression pattern of RBMY protein isoforms in test...
متن کاملp53: link to the past, bridge to the future.
Although the p53 tumor suppressor was identified nearly three decades ago and plays a pivotal role in human cancer, its complexity continues to surprise the research community. Indeed, it was only recently discovered that p53 belongs to a multigene family that also includes p63 and p73 (Kaghad et al. 1997; Schmale and Bamberger 1997). Both p63 and p73 express an array of isoforms as a result of...
