Mutations in Cockayne syndrome (CS) A and B genes (CSA and CSB) result in a rare genetic disease that affects the development and homeostasis of a wide range of tissues and organs. We previously correlated the degenerative phenotype of patients to the enhanced apoptotic response, exhibited by CS cells, which is associated with the exceptional induction of p53 protein, upon a variety of stress stimuli. Here we showed that the elevated and persistent levels of p53 displayed by CS cells are due to ...[more]
