lüll Mechanisms of switching on p53: a role for covalent modification?Meek DWOncogene 1999[Dec]; 18 (53): 7666-75The p53 protein plays a pivotal role in activating and integrating adaptive cellular responses to a wide range of environmental stresses. Activation of p53 can occur by different molecular routes, depending on the nature of the activating signal. Central to the activation process, by whichever route, is the destabilization of the p53-MDM2 interaction. The molecular mechanisms which activate p53 involve elements of post-translational modification, protein stabilization and protein-protein interaction. Two central themes are emerging from recent work in this area. The first is that there are common events in the p53 activation process among different activating pathways. The second is that activation involves not just a single molecular event such as disruption of the p53-MDM2 interaction, but a series of sequential events the nature of which is governed by the type of activating stimulus. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the p53 activation process in response to two stimuli, DNA damage and activated oncogenes, and considers the contribution made by multisite phosphorylation in determining the nature of the p53 response.|*Protein Processing, Post-Translational[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|DNA Damage/genetics/physiology/radiation effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Oncogenes/genetics/physiology[MESH]|Phosphorylation[MESH]|Protein Kinases/metabolism[MESH]|Species Specificity[MESH]|Tumor Suppressor Protein p53/*metabolism[MESH]|Ultraviolet Rays[MESH] |
