Interaction of regulators Mdm2 and Mdmx with transcription factors p53, p63 and p73
15 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
The negative regulation of p53, a major human tumor suppressor, by Mdm2 and Mdmx is crucial for the survival of a cell, whereas its aberrant function is a common feature of cancer. Both Mdm proteins act through the spatial occlusion of the p53 transactivation (TA) domain and by the ubiquitination of p53, resulting in its degradation. Two p53 homologues, p63 and p73, have been described in humans. Unlike p53,...
