The tumour suppressor protein p53 enhances the genetic stability of the cell and plays a critical role in tumour suppression. Equine p53 was analysed by sequencing exons 5 to 9, a region which includes most known mutations and all the mutational hotspots in the species that have been investigated. The fragment was amplified, cloned and sequenced from genomic and complementary DNA. A comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences between the horse and other species resulted in identities between 66 per cent with the clawed frog and 92 per cent with the cat. Using the single strand conformation polymorphism technique, exons 5 to 8 amplified from sarcoid tissue and peripheral leucocytes of 28 sarcoid-affected and 11 healthy horses were screened for mutations. No mutations were identified, suggesting that the frequency of p53 mutations in equine sarcoid might be low. However, the high incidence of bovine papillomavirus (BPV) infection in equine sarcoid may indicate the functional inactivation of p53 by BPV-encoded E6 protein.
