Abstract excerpt
The inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases p21CDKN1A plays a fundamental role in several pathways involved in the DNA damage response, like checkpoint-mediated cell cycle arrest, transcription, apoptosis, and DNA repair. Although p21 protein level is regulated by proteasomal degradation, the relationship of this process with DNA repair pathways is not yet clear. In addition, the role of protein/protein interaction...
