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

The <i>Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans</i> 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<sup>CIP1/WAF1</sup> is critical to Cdt-induc...
