Our lab has had a long-standing interest in the role and regulation of the p53 tumor suppressor. Mutations in the p53 gene (TP53) are often associated with aggressive tumor behavior and poor patient ...
The findings were recently published in Communications Chemistry. p53 is central to the body's defense against cancer, tasked with regulating the cell cycle and triggering the death of damaged ...
p53 and RB are at the heart of the two main tumour-suppressor pathways that control cellular responses to potentially oncogenic stimuli. Each pathway consists of several upstream regulators and ...
The ATM gene (mutated in the disease ataxia telangiectasia) activates the p53 tumor suppressor protein in response to DNA damage, explaining the higher incidence of cancer in AT patients.
正常的p53可以形成功能性生物分子凝聚物,而这些突变体则大大加快了向固态、淀粉样状态的转变。这种转变通过一种类似朊病毒(prion)的机制 ...
Abbreviations: DDB1, xeroderma pigmentosum E; ERCC1, DNA excision repair protein ERCC-1; ERCC2–5, excision repair complementing factors (formerly known as XPD/XPB/XPF/XPG); ERCC6/8, Cockayne's ...
