Abstract excerpt
P53 is an unstable transcription factor that is mutated in a majority of human cancers. With a significant role in initiating cell elimination programs, a network has evolved to fine-tune P53 transcriptional output and prevent errant activation. Modifications of the C terminus have long been viewed as critical binary determinants of P53 stability or activation. However, these conclusions are based on in vitro...
