Abstract excerpt
MDM2 inhibits transactivation properties of the tumor suppressor protein p53 by binding to and facilitating proteasomal degradation of p53. Because MDM2 targets p53 for degradation, it was anticipated that cells that overexpress MDM2 would not contain functional wild-type p53 (wtp53). However, p53 and MDM2 in cells with damaged DNA can become phosphorylated, and their binding to each other can become inhibited....
