Structure and Function of the p53 Tumor Suppressor Gene: Clues for Rational Cancer Therapeutic Strategies

Harris, C. C.·1996·JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute

Abstract

The p53 tumor suppressor protein is involved in multiple central cellular processes, including transcription, DNA repair, genomic stability, senescence, cell cycle control, and apoptosis. p53 is functionally inactivated by structural mutations, interaction with viral products, and endogenous cellular mechanisms in the majority of human cancers. This functional inactivation can, in some circumstances, produce resistance to DNA-damaging agents commonly used in cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapeutic approaches. Current research is defining the biochemical pathways through which p53 induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Knowledge of these fundamental processes is leading to the identification of molecular targets toward which multimodality cancer therapies, using chemotherapeutic, immunotherapeutic, and gene-therapeutic strategies, can be based.

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.
