pubmed:abstractText
A unique clinical syndrome has been described in which patients have chronic oral ulceration and autoantibodies to nuclei of stratified squamous epithelium. We have characterized the autoantibodies from patients sera and found that the major autoantigen is a 70 kDa epithelial nuclear protein. Sequencing of the cDNA for this protein, chronic ulcerative stomatitis protein, revealed it to be homologous to the p53 tumor suppressor and to the p73 putative tumor suppressor, and to be a splicing variant of the KET gene. The p53-like genes, p73 and the several KET splicing variants, are recently described genes of uncertain biologic and pathologic significance. This study provides the first clear association of a p53-like protein with a disease process.
