St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have mapped the structural details of how p53 attaches to its regulatory protein, called BCL-xL, in the cell.
View ArticleChemoprevention and colon cancer: an interview with Dr. John Letterio, Case...
The basic idea of cancer chemoprevention is to arrest or reverse the progression of premalignant cells towards full malignancy, using physiological mechanisms that do not kill healthy cells.
View ArticleStudy shows inactivation of p53 protein promotes cancer progression
Researchers at the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) and the University of Barcelona have discovered the interaction between HERC2 proteins with another protein called p53 that is...
View ArticleResearchers discover new function of body's most important tumor-suppressing...
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have discovered a new function of the body's most important tumor-suppressing protein. Called p53, this protein has been called "the guardian of the...

A new study published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America sheds new light on a well-known mechanism required for the immune...
View ArticleUC Davis researchers uncover complex relationship between p53 and Rbm38 proteins
Scientists have long known the p53 protein suppresses tumors. However, a recent animal study by UC Davis researchers has uncovered a complicated relationship between p53 and another protein, Rbm38,...
View ArticleRemoving accumulated mutant p53 protein regresses tumors, increases cancer...
Removing accumulated mutant p53 protein from a cancer model showed that tumors regress significantly and survival increases. This finding, by an international team of cancer researchers led by Ute...
View ArticleResearchers uncover new mechanism that p53 protein uses to trigger cell death
Researchers have identified a new mechanism that the tumor suppressor protein p53 uses to trigger cell death via apoptosis and have shown how the process could be harnessed to kill cancer cells. St....
View ArticleStudy reveals new epigenetic mechanism underlying progression of cancer tumors
Aggressive cancer growth and alterations in gene activity without changes in DNA sequence (epigenetics) are associated with mutant p53 proteins, according to new research from the Perelman School of...
