Parsing p53 Transactivation
Abstract
Two functions of p53 are undisputed. Biologically, p53 is a potent tumor suppressor, whereas biochemically, it is a robust transcriptional activator of numerous target genes. Are these biological and biochemical functions of p53 related? The surprising answer, recently reported by Brady et al. (2011) in Cell, is minimally.
