Wild-type p53 mediates positive regulation of gene expression through a specific DNA sequence element.
Open accessAbstract
It has been reported recently that the wild-type p53 gene product can positively regulate the expression of a test gene adjacent to the enhancer-promoter elements of the murine muscle-specific creatine kinase (MCK) gene. This discussion reports the identification of a wild-type p53 protein-specific DNA-binding element located within the p53-responsive region of the MCK enhancer-promoter element. This p53 protein/DNA-binding element has been defined by DNase I footprint analysis, which identified a 50-bp region. This 50-bp sequence was sufficient to confer wild-type p53 responsiveness on a heterologous minimal promoter. The mutant forms of p53 protein are much less capable of stimulating this DNA element. This study has identified the first example of a naturally occurring wild-type p53-specific DNA-binding element that is able to mediate positive regulation of a test gene. The results suggest a biological function in gene regulation for the wild-type p53 protein that is lost or altered in the mutant p53 proteins.

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.
