Abstract

p53 is a tumor suppressor protein that induces apoptosis at least in part through its ability to act as a sequence-specific transactivator. This work reports that intron 1 of the mouse Fas death receptor gene contains a p53-responsive element (p53RE) that matches the p53 consensus sequence and that is located between nucleotides +1704 and +1723 from the transcription initiation site. This element is specifically bound by p53 and functions as a p53-dependent enhancer in mammalian or in yeast reporter gene assays. Contrary to bax, another known pro-apoptotic p53-target gene, both mouse and human FAS p53REs are still activated by the discriminatory p53 mutants Pro-175 and Ala-143, a class of mutants unable to induce apoptosis. We propose that p53-dependent up-regulation of Fas does not induce apoptosis per se but sensitizes the cell to other pro-apoptotic signal(s). The functional conservation of p53-dependent Fas up-regulation argues strongly in favor of its biological importance and suggests that murine models may be used to study further the in vivo role of Fas in the p53 response.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • TNF receptors include the p53-induced targets FAS and TNFRSF10A-D; these can be activated by external stimuli such as binding with FASL or TNF-α, thereby leading to caspase-dependent apoptosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
