## Abstract The aminothiol WR1065, the active metabolite of the cytoprotector amifostine, exerts its antimutagenic effects through freeβradical scavenging and other unknown mechanisms. In an earlier report, we showed that WR1065 activates wildβtype p53 in MCFβ7 cells, leading to p53βdependent arres
The transcription factor p53 controls the proliferation and survival of cells exposed to DNA damage. The specific DNA-binding domain of p53 (residues 102-292) has a complex tertiary structure that is stabilized by zinc. In this study, we showed that exposure of cultured cells to the membrane-permeab
