DNA Damage-Induced Phosphorylation of p53 Alleviates Inhibition by MDM2
TL;DR: Using purified DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), it is demonstrated that phosphorylation of p53 at serine 15 and 37 impairs the ability of MDM2 to inhibit p53-dependent transactivation and provides a plausible mechanism by which the induction of p 53 can be modulated by DNA-PK in response to DNA damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
DJ-1, a novel oncogene which transforms mouse NIH3T3 cells in cooperation with ras.
Daisuke Nagakubo,Takahiro Taira,Hirotake Kitaura,Masako Ikeda,Katsuyuki Tamai,Sanae M.M. Iguchi-Ariga,Hiroyoshi Ariga +6 more
TL;DR: DJ-1 showed a cooperative transforming activity with H-Ras, more than 3 times as strong as the activity of ras/myc combination and is suggested to be a novel mitogen-dependent oncogene product involved in a Ras-related signal transduction pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet radiation, but not γ radiation or etoposide-induced DNA damage, results in the phosphorylation of the murine p53 protein at serine-389
TL;DR: In vivo a unique phosphorylation site in the p53 protein that responds to a specific type of DNA damage is demonstrated that occurs in vivo in response to ultraviolet radiation of cells containing the p 53 protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Characterization of cDNA for DREF, a Promoter-activating Factor for Drosophila DNA Replication-related Genes
Fumiko Hirose,Masamitsu Yamaguchi,Kazufumi Kuroda,Akira Omori,Takahisa Hachiya,Masako Ikeda,Yoshio Nishimoto,Akio Matsukage +7 more
TL;DR: Immunocytochemical analysis demonstrated the presence of DREF polypeptide in nuclei after the eighth nuclear division cycle, suggesting that nuclear accumulation of Dref is important for the coordinate zygotic expression of DNA replication-related genes carrying DRE sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
AMY‐1, a novel C‐MYC binding protein that stimulates transcription activity of C‐MYC
Takahiro Taira,Junko Maëda,Takako Onishi,Hirotake Kitaura,Shu Yoshida,Hiroyuki Kato,Masako Ikeda,Katsuyuki Tamai,Sanae M.M. Iguchi-Ariga,Hiroyoshi Ariga +9 more
TL;DR: The c‐myc proto‐oncogene has been suggested to play key roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, transformation and apoptosis, and different proteins are thought to interact with the N‐terminal region of C‐MYC to display different functions.
