Apart from its well-known prodeath activity, p53 is also implicated in promoting cell survival. How p53 can mediate such seemingly opposing effects is largely unclear. We report here a novel mechanism in which p53-mediated proapoptosis is switched to antiapoptosis via its interaction with a p53 isoform, Δ133p53. We show that the expression of Δ133p53 is induced by mild or a moderate level of stress via an HIF1-dependent mechanism. Increased Δ133p53 levels contribute to the adaptive response by s ...[more]
