Abstract excerpt
Sequence-specific transcriptional regulators function by stably binding cognate DNA sequences followed by recruitment of both general and specialized factors to target gene promoters. The tumor suppressor p53 mediates its anti-oncogenic effect on cells by functioning as a sequence-specific regulator. p53 employs a secondary mechanism to suppress tumor formation by permeabilizing the outer mitochondrial membrane,...
