Blocking of p53-Snail Binding, Promoted by Oncogenic K-Ras, Recovers p53 Expression and function
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Differentially from other kinds of Ras, oncogenic K-Ras, which is mutated approximately 30% of human cancer, does not induce apoptosis and senescence. Here, we provide the evidence that oncogenic K-Ras abrogates p53 function and expression through induction of Ataxia telangiectasia-mutated and Rad3-related mediated Snail stabilization. Snail directly binds to DNA binding domain of p53 and diminishes the...
