Abstract:
Abnormalities of the p53 tumor suppressor gene are among the most frequent molecular events in human neoplasia. p53 is consequently one of the most studied proteins, and is the subject of over 55,500 scientific papers. In this review, attention is focused on the functions of p53 in DNA repair. We highlight the recent progress in the analysis of protein signals to p53, including PARPs, and ubiquitination cascade proteins MDM2, CRM1, USP10 and 14-3-3σ.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
