The p73 protein, a homologue of the tumour-suppressor protein p53, can activate p53-responsive promoters and induce apoptosis in p53-deficient cells. Here we report that some tumour-derived p53 ...
The focus has until now been on two pathways by which suppressors become disabled: intragenic mutations and loss of chromosomal material (loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or homozygous deletion).
The situations when the amplification breakpoint is not acceptable (Figure 2): (1) Multiple intragenic breakpoints; (2) The candidate is not the gene closest to the amplification breakpoint; (3) The ...
Although tumour cells gain a series of characteristics that provide a selective advantage, the mutational events that drive these processes also impart upon the cell a series of dependencies. One ...
