Cross talk between p53 and interferon-regulated pathways is
implicated in the induction of gene expression by biologic and genotoxic stresses. We demonstrate that the interferon-stimulated gene
ISG15 is induced by p53 and that p53 is required for optimal gene
induction by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), but not interferon. Interestingly, virus induces ISG15 in the absence of p53, suggesting that virus and dsRNA employ distinct signaling pathways.
