TP53 is a critical tumor-suppressor gene that is mutated in more than half of all human
cancers. Mutations in TP53 not only impair its antitumor activity, but also confer mutant p53 …

Forty years of research have established that the p53 tumor suppressor provides a major
barrier to neoplastic transformation and tumor progression by its unique ability to act as an …

Abstract p53 is a key tumor suppressor, and loss of p53 function is frequently a prerequisite
for cancer development. The p53 gene is the most frequently mutated gene in human …

The tumor protein TP53 gene, encoding the cellular tumor antigen p53, is the single most
frequently mutated gene in human cancers. p53 plays a central role in responding to DNA …

Although the classic activities of p53 including induction of cell-cycle arrest, senescence,
and apoptosis are well accepted as critical barriers to cancer development, accumulating …

Inhibiting cell survival and inducing cell death are the main approaches of tumor therapy.
Autophagy plays an important role on intracellular metabolic homeostasis by eliminating …

Frequent p53 mutations (mutp53) not only abolish tumor suppressor capacities but confer
various gain-of-function (GOF) activities that impacts molecules and pathways now regarded …

Since wild-type p53 is central for maintaining genomic stability and preventing oncogenesis,
its coding gene TP53 is highly mutated in~ 50% of human cancers, and its activity is almost …

Macroautophagy/autophagy is a conserved catabolic pathway that is vital for maintaining
cell homeostasis and promoting cell survival under stressful conditions. Dysregulation of …

The tumor suppressor p53 plays a critical role to preserve DNA fidelity from diverse insults
through the regulation of cell-cycle checkpoints, DNA repair, senescence and apoptosis …
