Research Abstract

I analyzed p53 family gene, p51, and accomplished following findings. 1)I Identified ubiquitin ligase specific to TAp51 protein. 2)I elucidated mechanisms of cell fate determination in response to genotoxic stress by p53 family proteins, 3)Some p53 family gene chimeras exhibited potent anti-tumor activity by mouse gene therapy model. 4)p51 gene expression is essential for maintaining immaturity (stemness) in keratinocytes and muscle cells.
