| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
GRWD1 is a novel histone chaperone that promotes MCM loading and may integrate regulations of cell cycle progression. We identified transcription factor Pura as a putative GRWD1 binding factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the biological relevance between Pura and GRWD1. We found that GRWD1 and Pura form a complex with p53 in vivo and negatively regulate p53 transcriptional activity. GRWD1 is overexpressed in several cancer cells. Therefore, elucidation of the p53 regulation mechanism(s) by GRWD1 and Pura may help to understand novel molecular mechanisms for induction of chromosomal instability and carcinogenesis.
