Abstract

Exposure of mammalian cells to ionizing radiation (IR) induces a complex array of cellular responses including cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis. IR-induced G1 arrest has been shown to depend on the presence of the tumor suppressor p53, which acts as a transcriptional activator of several genes. p53 also plays a role in the induction of apoptosis in response to DNA damage, and this pathway can be activated by both transcription-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Here we report the identification of a novel transcript whose expression is induced in response to IR in a p53-dependent manner, and that shows homology to the type 2C protein phosphatases. We have named this novel gene, wip1. In vitro, recombinant Wip1 displayed characteristics of a type 2C phosphatase, including Mg2+ dependence and relative insensitivity to okadaic acid. Studies performed in several cell lines revealed that wip1 accumulation following IR correlates with the presence of wild-type p53. The accumulation of wip1 mRNA following IR was rapid and transient, and the protein was localized to the nucleus. Similar to waf1, ectopic expression of wip1 in human cells suppressed colony formation. These results suggest that Wip1 might contribute to growth inhibi...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
