Abstract excerpt
Tumor suppressor protein p53 aggregates in the hypoxic core of solid tumors. C terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) displays chaperone as well as E3 ligase activities in both stabilizing and degrading wild-type and mutant p53. In this study, we have discovered that CHIP selectively degrades aggregating mutant p53 under both normal and hypoxic conditions. Silencing of CHIP alleviates degradation of...
