Transcriptional activation of p53 responsive genes

p53 causes G1 arrest by inducing the expression of a cell cycle inhibitor, p21 (El-Deiry et al, 1993; Harper et al, 1993; Xiong et al, 1993). P21 binds and inactivates Cyclin-Cdk complexes that mediate G1/S progression, resulting in lack of phosphorylation of Rb, E2F sequestration and cell cycle arrest at the G1/S transition. Mice with a homozygous deletion of p21 gene are deficient in their ability to undergo a G1/S arrest in response to DNA damage (Deng et al, 1995).
