Mutant p53 gain of function: the NF-Y connection.

Abstract excerpt

The molecular mechanisms underlying mutant p53 gain of function are becoming increasingly complex. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Di Agostino et al. identify the heterotrimeric transcription factor NF-Y as an interacting partner of mutant p53. They show that mutant p53/NF-Y complexes bind to NF-Y target promoters and recruit p300 in response to DNA damage, resulting in aberrant transactivation of NF-Y target genes...
