p53 cellular localization and function in neuroblastoma: evidence for defective G1 arrest despite WAF1 induction in MYCN-amplified cells

DA Tweddle, AJ Malcolm, M Cole, ADJ Pearson… - The American journal of …, 2001 - Elsevier
This study investigated the hypothesis that p53 accumulation in neuroblastoma, in the
absence of mutation, is associated with functional inactivation, which interferes with …

p53, p63 and p73–solos, alliances and feuds among family members

UM Moll, S Erster, A Zaika - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)-Reviews …, 2001 - Elsevier
p53 controls crucial stress responses that play a major role in preventing malignant
transformation. Hence, inactivation of p53 is the single most common genetic defect in …

Activation of p53 by roscovitine-mediated suppression of MDM2 expression

W Lu, L Chen, Y Peng, J Chen - Oncogene, 2001 - nature.com
The p53 tumor suppressor is regulated by the MDM2 oncoprotein. Overexpression of MDM2
maintains p53 at low levels and contributes to the functional inactivation of p53 in a subset of …

A role for Hsc70 in regulating nucleocytoplasmic transport of a temperature-sensitive p53 (p53Val-135)

S Akakura, M Yoshida, Y Yoneda… - Journal of Biological …, 2001 - ASBMB
Mouse temperature-sensitive p53 Val-135 accumulates in the nucleus and acts as a" wild-
type" at 32° C while it is sequestered in the cytoplasm at 37° C. The cytoplasmic p53 Val-135 …

Autoimmunity to the p53 protein is a feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) related to anti-DNA antibodies

J Herkel, A Mimran, N Erez, N Kam, AW Lohse… - Journal of …, 2001 - Elsevier
The induction of anti-DNA autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients is
