RO-5963 Activates p53 Pathway by Inhibiting p53 Binding to MDM2 and MDMX in Cancer Cells
The tumor suppressor p53 is a powerful growth-suppressive and proapoptotic protein. Murine double minute (MDM) 2 and MDMX, as its negative regulators, tightly controlls p53. These proteins bind p53 with their structurally similar N-terminal domains. Therefore, they effectively inhibit p53 transcriptional activity. But, it is only functional in MDM2,...
