Beclin 1, an autophagy gene essential for early embryonic development, is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor
The biochemical properties of beclin 1 suggest a role in two fundamentally important cell biological pathways: autophagy and apoptosis. We show here that beclin 1 -/- mutant mic...
Gene Silencing in Cancer in Association with Promoter Hypermethylation
This article reviews the mechanisms of gene silencing in cancer and clinical applications of this phenomenon. The silencing of genes, especially tumor-suppressor genes, is a key...
Activation of p53 sequence-specific DNA bindingby short single strands of DNA requires the p53 C-terminus
Upon cellular DNA damage, the p53 tumor suppressor protein transmits a signal to genes that control the cell cycle and apoptosis. One function of p53 that is important for its r...
Oncogenic Forms of p53 Inhibit p53-Regulated Gene Expression
Mutant forms of the gene encoding the tumor suppressor p53 are found in numerous human malignancies, but the physiologic function of p53 and the effects of mutations on this fun...
Aberrant methylation in gastric cancer associated with the CpG island methylator phenotype.
Aberrant methylation of 5' CpG islands is thought to play an important role in the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes in cancer. In colorectal cancer, a group of tumors is c...
