The Cell-Cycle Regulatory Protein p21(CIP1/WAF1) Is Required for Cytolethal Distending Toxin (Cdt)-Induced Apoptosis

The Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans cytolethal distending toxin (Cdt) induces lymphocytes to undergo cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis; toxicity is dependent upon the active Cdt subunit, CdtB. We now demonstrate that p21(CIP1/WAF1) is critical to Cdt-induced apoptosis. Cdt induces increases in t...
