Recombinant Human TP53 protein, GST-tagged
p53 is a key regulator of cell growth and acts as a tumor suppressor gene. Wild-type p53 gene can suppress transformation of rat embryo fibroblasts in cell culture by other oncogenes such as the adenovirus E1A and Ras. DNA tumor viruses such as SV40 large T antigen and the adenovirus E1A plus E1B-55Kd proteins bind to p53 and inactivate its tumor suppressor activities leading to cellular transformation. Mutational inactivation of the p53 gene is detected in more than 50% of human cancers. Mutation of p53 renders cancer cells more resistant to current cancer therapies due to lack of p53-mediated apoptosis.
