Abstract excerpt
Mdmx is a critical negative regulator of the p53 pathway that is stoichiometrically limiting in some tissues. Posttranslational modification and degradation of Mdmx after DNA damage have been proposed to be essential for p53 activation. We tested this model in vivo, where critical stoichiometric relationships are preserved. We generated an Mdmx mutant mouse in which three conserved serines (S341, S367, S402)...
