p53: a heavily dictated dictator of life and death.

Abstract:

:In 2003, a p53-expressing adenovirus was approved as a cancer therapy drug in China. Consequently, there has been a surge in the need to understand the regulation of wild type p53 function in vivo. The majority of the progress made during the past two years has focused on the cellular factors and post-translational modifications that regulate the expression levels and activities of p53 in response to stress signals.

  • Responses to DNA damage and regulation of cell cycle checkpoints by the ATM protein kinase family.

    abstract::In mammalian cells, four protein kinases form the PI3-kinase-related protein kinase (PIK) superfamily. These four enzymes-FRAP, DNA-PK, ATM, and ATR-are distinguished by their large size (all are >2500 amino acids), their common primary sequence relatedness through the carboxy-terminal protein kinase domain, and their...
