Activation of the p21(Waf1/Cip1) promoter by the ets oncogene family transcription factor E1AF.

abstract：:PES1 (also known as Pescadillo), a nucleolar protein, was involved in biogenesis of ribosomal RNA. Up-regulation of PES1 has been documented in some human cancers, indicating that PES1 may play some crucial roles in tumorigenesis. In our previous study, it was found that silencing of PES1 resulted in decreased prolife...
