Abstract excerpt
TP53 protects cells from transformation by responding to stresses including aneuploidy and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). TP53 induces apoptosis of lymphocytes with persistent DSBs at antigen receptor loci and other genomic loci to prevent these lesions from generating oncogenic translocations. Despite this critical function of TP53, germline Tp53(-/-) mice succumb to immature T-cell (thymic) lymphomas that...
