Quantitative trait symmetry independent of Hsp90 buffering: distinct modes of genetic canalization and developmental stability.

abstract：:Inactivation of the transcription factor p53 is central to carcinogenesis. Yet only approximately one-half of cancers have p53 loss-of-function mutations. Here, we demonstrate a mechanism for p53 inactivation by apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC), a protein induced in multiple cancer cells. The ...
