p53-Induced DNA Bending: The Interplay between p53−DNA and p53−p53 Interactions [PDF]
Specific p53 binding-induced DNA bending and its underlying responsible forces are crucial for the understanding of selective transcription activation. Diverse p53-response elements exist in the genome; however, it is not known what determines the DNA bending and to what extent.

Living with p53, Dying of p53 [PDF]
The p53 tumor suppressor protein acts as a major defense against cancer. Among its most distinctive features is the ability to elicit both apoptotic death and cell cycle arrest. In this issue of Cell, Das et al. (2007) and Tanaka et al. (2007) provide new insights into the mechanisms that dictate the life and death decisions of p53.

p53 β-hydroxybutyrylation attenuates p53 activity [PDF]
Abstractp53 is an essential tumor suppressor, whose activity is finely tuned by the posttranslational modifications. Previous research has reported that β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) induces β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb), which is a novel histone posttranslational modification.

p53 α-Helix mimetics antagonize p53/MDM2 interaction and activate p53 [PDF]
Abstract Overexpression or hyperactivation of MDM2 contributes to functional inactivation of wild-type p53 in nearly 50% of tumors. Inhibition of p53 by MDM2 depends on binding between an NH2-terminal (residues 16–28) p53 α-helical peptide and a hydrophobic pocket on MDM2, presenting an attractive target for development of inhibitors ...

p53 isoforms change p53 paradigm [PDF]
Although p53 defines cellular responses to cancer treatment it is not clear how p53 can be used to control cell fate outcome. Data demonstrate that so-called p53 does not exist as a single protein, but is in fact a group of p53 protein isoforms whose expression can be manipulated to control the cellular response to treatment.

p53 isoforms can regulate p53 transcriptional activity [PDF]
The recently discovered p53-related genes, p73 and p63, express multiple splice variants and N-terminally truncated forms initiated from an alternative promoter in intron 3. To date, no alternative promoter and multiple splice variants have been described for the p53 gene.

USP11 regulates p53 stability by deubiquitinating p53 [PDF]
The p53 tumor suppressor protein coordinates the cellular responses to a broad range of cellular stresses, leading to DNA repair, cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. The stability of p53 is essential for its tumor suppressor function, which is tightly controlled by ubiquitin-dependent degradation primarily through its negative regulator murine double ...

Monitoring flux in signalling pathways through measurements of 4EBP1-mediated eIF4F complex assembly
Background The most commonly occurring cancer mutations, including oncogenes such as MYC, Ras and PIK3C, are found in signal transductions pathways feeding into the translational machinery.

The degradation of p53 and its major E3 ligase Mdm2 is differentially dependent on the proteasomal ubiquitin receptor S5a. [PDF]
p53 and its major E3 ligase Mdm2 are both ubiquitinated and targeted to the proteasome for degradation. Despite the importance of this in regulating the p53 pathway, little is known about the mechanisms of proteasomal recognition of ubiquitinated p53 and

The Basally Expressed p53-Mediated Homeostatic Function
Apart from mutations in the p53 gene, p53 functions can be alternatively compromised by a decrease in nuclear p53 protein levels or activities. In accordance, enhanced p53 protein turnover due to elevated expression of the critical p53 E3 ligase MDM2 or ...
