Abstract excerpt
Although forming a heterodimer or heterooligomer is essential for MDM2 and MDMX to fully control p53 during early embryogenesis, deletion of either MDM2 or MDMX in specific tissues using the loxp-Cre system reveals phenotypic diversity during organ morphogenesis, which can be completely rescued by loss of p53, suggesting the spatiotemporal independence and specificity of the regulation of p53 by MDM2 and MDMX. In...
