Targeting p53 to mitochondria for cancer therapy
1 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Although the tumor suppressor protein p53 is a major senescence- and cell death-inducing transcription factor, recent work has clearly demonstrated that p53 has additional, extranuclear effects that contribute to its cell cycle-arresting and proapoptotic functions. Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) is (one of) the most prominent apoptotic checkpoint(s), and cytoplasmic p53 can induce MOMP by...
