Activation of the p53 pathway by small-molecule-induced MDM2 and MDMX dimerization.

abstract：:The role of spliced leader RNA (SL RNA) in trans-splicing in Caenorhabditis elegans has been studied through a combination of in vitro mutagenesis and in vivo complementation of rrs-1 mutant nematodes, which lack endogenous SL1 RNA. Three classes of mutant SL1 RNAs have been found-those that rescue the lethal phenotyp...
