A common polymorphism at codon 72 in the p53 tumor suppressor gene encodes either proline (P72) or arginine (R72). Several groups have reported that in cultured cells, this polymorphism influences p53's transcriptional, senescence, and apoptotic functions. However, the impact of this polymorphism within the context of a living organism is poorly understood. We generated knock-in mice with the P72 and R72 variants and analyzed the tissues of these mice for apoptosis and transcription. In the thym ...[more]
