Mitochondrial MDM4 (MDMX): An unpredicted role in the p53-mediated intrinsic apoptotic pathway
1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
p53 is a crucial regulator of cell response to DNA damage. MDM4 and MDM2 are the two main negative regulators of p53 activity. Upon DNA damage, their constraint is released and p53 becomes activated and exerts its safeguard function by arresting cell growth or by killing excessively damaged cells. Under these conditions, increasing data suggest that MDM4 and MDM2 play novel roles. In this respect, we recently...
