DNA Damage-Dependent Acetylation of p73 Dictates the Selective Activation of Apoptotic Target Genes

The tumor suppressor p53 and its close relative p73 are activated in response to DNA damage resulting in either cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. Here, we show that DNA damage induces the acetylation of p73 by the acetyltransferase p300. Inhibiting the enzymatic activity of p300 hampers apoptosis in a...
