Throughout the animal kingdom, p53 genes function to restrain mobile elements and
recent observations indicate that transposons become derepressed in human
cancers. Together, these emerging lines of evidence suggest that cancers driven
by p53 mutations could represent "transpospoathies," i.e. disease states linked
to eruptions of mobile elements. The transposopathy hypothesis predicts that p53
acts through conserved mechanisms to contain transposon movement, and in this
way, prevents tumor formation. How transposon eruptions provoke neoplasias is not
well understood but, from a broader perspective, this hypothesis also provides an
attractive framework to explore unrestrained mobile elements as inciters of
late-onset idiopathic disease. Also see the video abstract here.
