  2. p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53_upregulated_modulator...

    The p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) also known as Bcl-2-binding component 3 (BBC3), is a pro-apoptotic protein, member of the Bcl-2 protein family. [5] [6] In humans, the Bcl-2-binding component 3 protein is encoded by the BBC3 gene.

  3. Adenovirus E1B protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenovirus_E1B_protein

    E1B-55k blocks p53 from inhibiting cell cycling and stops it from inducing apoptosis. [7] Observations show that E1b-55k inhibits activation by p53 by binding a repression domain to it, converting it from an activator to a repressor of p53-activated genes. This stabilizes p53 and causes a large increase in p53 concentration.

  4. Apoptosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apoptosome

    The ability to directly cause apoptosome activation is valuable in cancer therapies because the infected cancerous genes are unable to be destroyed causing a continuation of the cancer to form. By activating the apoptosome by an outside stimulus apoptosis can occur and get rid of the mutated cells.

  5. Apoptosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apoptosis

    Canine distemper virus (CDV) is known to cause apoptosis in central nervous system and lymphoid tissue of infected dogs in vivo and in vitro. [105] Apoptosis caused by CDV is typically induced via the extrinsic pathway, which activates caspases that disrupt cellular function and eventually leads to the cells death. [89]

  6. Cancer in dogs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_in_dogs

    A 10-year-old female beagle with oral cancer. Cancer is the leading cause of death in dogs. [1] It is estimated that 1 in 3 domestic dogs will develop cancer, which is the same incidence of cancer among humans. [2] Dogs can develop a variety of cancers and most are very similar to those found in humans.

  7. p53 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53

    p53, also known as Tumor protein P53, cellular tumor antigen p53 (UniProt name), or transformation-related protein 53 (TRP53) is a regulatory protein that is often mutated in human cancers. The p53 proteins (originally thought to be, and often spoken of as, a single protein) are crucial in vertebrates , where they prevent cancer formation. [ 5 ]

  8. P53 p63 p73 family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53_p63_p73_family

    The p53 p63 p73 family is a family of tumor suppressor genes. [1] [2] This gene family codes the proteins: p53; TP73L (also known as "p63") p73; They are sometimes considered part of a "p53 family." When overexpressed, these proteins are known to be involved in tumor pathogenesis. [3]

  9. BH3 interacting-domain death agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BH3_interacting-domain...

    The expression of BID is upregulated by the tumor suppressor p53, and BID has been shown to be involved in p53-mediated apoptosis. [7] The p53 protein is a transcription factor that, when activated as part of the cell's response to stress, regulates many downstream target genes, including BID. However, p53 also has a transcription-independent ...
