Introduction: The p53 family members p63 and p73 give rise to proteins that have p53-agonistic as well as p53-antagonistic functions. p63 and p73 express two main classes of isoforms: isoforms which contain the transactivation domain (TAp73 and TAp63) and dominant negative isoforms (DeltaNp63 and DeltaNp73) acting as operant inhibitors of TAp73, TAp63 and wild-type (wt) p53. We aimed to provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of the regulation and transactivation of the CD95 gene by the p53 family. Methods: 1. Identification of the p53 binding site in intron 1 and three p53 binding sites in the promoter of…
