p73: Friend or foe in tumorigenesis

G Melino, V De Laurenzi, KH Vousden - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2002 - nature.com
As p53 and its homologue p73 have significant sequence and functional similarities, p73
might also be expected to act as a tumour suppressor. However, p73 is activated after DNA …

Role of p73 in malignancy: tumor suppressor or oncogene?

T Stiewe, BM Pützer - Cell Death & Differentiation, 2002 - nature.com
The recently identified p53 family member, p73, shows substantial structural and functional
homology with p53. However, despite the established role of p53 as a proto-type tumor …

p73, a sophisticated p53 family member in the cancer world

T Ozaki, A Nakagawara - Cancer science, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
p73 belongs to a family of p53‐related nuclear transcription factors that includes p53, p73
and p63. The overall structure and sequence homology indicates that a p63/p73‐like …

p73 in apoptosis

T Stiewe, BM Pützer - Apoptosis, 2001 - Springer
The TP53 tumour-suppressor gene belongs to a family that includes the two recently
identified homologues TP63 and TP73. Overexpression of p73 can activate typical p53 …

Possible oncogenic potential of ΔNp73: a newly identified isoform of human p73

O Ishimoto, C Kawahara, K Enjo, M Obinata, T Nukiwa… - Cancer research, 2002 - AACR
Abstract p73, a recently identified gene highly homologous to p53, can transactivate p53
target genes and induce apoptosis. Here we report the identification of an NH2-terminal …

Oncogenes induce and activate endogenous p73 protein

A Zaika, M Irwin, C Sansome, UM Moll - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001 - ASBMB
The identification of upstream pathways that signal to TP73 is crucial for understanding the
biological role of this gene. Since some evidence suggests thatTP73 might play a role in …

Deletion of the COOH-terminal region of p73α enhances both its transactivation function and DNA-binding activity but inhibits induction of apoptosis in mammalian …

T Ozaki, M Naka, N Takada, M Tada, S Sakiyama… - Cancer research, 1999 - AACR
The candidate tumor suppressor p73 has a high sequence homology with p53 within the
NH2-terminal transactivation domain, the sequence-specific DNA-binding region, and the …

ΔNp73β is active in transactivation and growth suppression

G Liu, S Nozell, H Xiao, X Chen - Molecular and cellular biology, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
p73, a p53 family protein, shares significant sequence homolog and functional similarity with
p53. However, unlike p53, p73 has at least seven alternatively spliced isoforms with different …

The Potential Tumor Suppressor p73 Differentially Regulates Cellular p53 Target Genes

J Zhu, J Jiang, W Zhou, X Chen - Cancer research, 1998 - AACR
Abstract p73, a potential tumor suppressor, is a p53 homologue. Transient over expression
of p73 in cells can induce apoptosis and p21, a cellular p53 target gene primarily …

Comparative analysis of p73 and p53 regulation and effector functions

L Fang, SW Lee, SA Aaronson - The Journal of cell biology, 1999 - rupress.org
p53 is mutated in∼ 50% of human cancers, whereas mutations of the related p73 gene are
rare. p73 can activate p53-responsive promoters and induce apoptosis when overexpressed …
