Abstract excerpt
Understanding how p53 activity is regulated is crucial in elucidating mechanisms of cellular defense against cancer. Genetic data indicate that Mdmx as well as Mdm2 plays a major role in maintaining p53 activity at low levels in nonstressed cells. However, biochemical mechanisms of how Mdmx regulates p53 activity are not well understood. Through identification of Mdmx-binding proteins, we found that 14-3-3...
