Roles for p53 in growth arrest and apoptosis: putting on the brakes after genotoxic stress

SA Amundson, TG Myers, AJ Fornace - Oncogene, 1998 - nature.com
The tumor suppressor gene p53 plays a major role in regulation of the mammalian cellular
stress response, in part through the transcriptional activation of genes involved in cell cycle …

Gadd45 in stress signaling, cell cycle control, and apoptosis

JM Salvador, JD Brown-Clay, AJ Fornace Jr - Gadd45 stress sensor …, 2013 - Springer
The first identified Gadd45 gene, Gadd45a, encodes a ubiquitously expressed protein that
is often induced by DNA damage and other stress signals associated with growth arrest and …

p38 MAP kinase's emerging role as a tumor suppressor

DV Bulavin, AJ Fornace - Advances in cancer research, 2004 - books.google.com
The p38 proteins are an evolutionally conserved family of mitogen-activated protein kinases
