Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumour suppressor functions as a sensor of genotoxic stress and, once activated, induces cell growth arrest or apoptosis. The precise intranuclear localization of latent p53 protein in non-stressed cells is unknown. Such information is essential in order to understand how relatively few molecules of p53 can detect and respond to DNA damage. Here we present the first detailed supramolecular localization of...
