abstract：:p53 is a master regulatory, sequence-specific transcription factor that directly controls expression of over 100 genes in response to various stress signals. Transactivation is generally considered to occur through p53 binding to a consensus response element (RE) composed of two 5'-RRRCWWGYYY-3' decamers. Recently, st...
