p53S18/23A mutation completely rescues the embryonic lethality of Xrcc4−/− mice. (A) The number of offspring in various genotypes derived from the following breeding: Xrcc4+/−p53S18/23A/+ × Xrcc4+/−p53S18/23A/+ or Xrcc4+/−p53S18/23A × Xrcc4+/−p53S18/23A. The expected number based on the Mendelian ratio is also shown. (B) The number of offsprings in various genotypes derived from either Xrcc4+/−p53S18A/+ × Xrcc4+/−p53S18A/+ or Xrcc4+/−p53S18A × Xrcc4+/−p53S18A breeding. (C) p53-dependent apoptosis in the embryonic cerebral cortex as shown by ISEL+. Saggital sections from E12.5 embryos were shown. The apoptotic cells are indicated by arrowheads. (D) The surviving percentage of Xrcc4+/−p53S18/23A (n=16), Xrcc4−/−p53S18/23A/+ (n=10) and Xrcc4−/−p53S18/23A (n=34) mice at various times after birth. N represents the number of mice monitored. P-value is 0.0004 for the comparison between Xrcc4−/−p53S18/23A/+ and Xrcc4+/−p53S18/23A mice and 0.001 for the comparison between Xrcc4−/−p53S18/23A and Xrcc4+/−p53S18/23A mice.
