Abstract excerpt
The ARF/MDM2/p53 pathway is a principal defense mechanism to protect the organism from uncontrolled effects of deregulated oncogenes. Oncogenes activate ARF, which interacts with and inhibits the ubiquitin ligase MDM2, resulting in p53 stabilization and activation. Once stabilized and activated,...
