The p53 protein suppresses tumorigenesis by initiating cellular functions such as cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to DNA damage. A p53 mutant, p53R172P, which is deficient for apoptosis but retains a partial cell cycle arrest function, delays tumor onset in mice. Remarkably, lymphomas arising in Trp53(515C/515C) mice (encoding p53R172P) retain stable genomes. Given the dominant role of p21 in p53 cell cycle control, we crossed Trp53(515C/515C) mice onto a p21-null background to deter ...[more]
