| Comments | P.326 left column 3rd paragraph: "p53 acts as an intermediary here. Normally a highly unstable protein with a lifetime of 15 min or so, its steady-state levels increase rapidly upon DNA damage, p53 in turn activates expression of the p21 CDKI, and p21 then blocks the activity of both CDK2 and CDK4/CDK6 (Kastan et al., 1991 Hall et al., 1993). As with the other antiproliferative signals, this mechanism prevents phosphorylation of pRB and passage through the R point gate." |
