Commented on OTUD5 Regulates p53 Stability by Deubiquitinating p53
As a novel deubiquitinating enzyme for p53, OTUD5 is required for the stabilization and the activation of a p53 response.

Commented on p53’s Extended Reach: The Mutant p53 Secretome
How does the alteration of the p53 pathway, specifically mutations in the TP53 gene, influence the composition of the tumor cell secretome and impact the microenvironment, thereby promoting tumor growth and potential metastasis?

Article

Commented on p21WAF1/CIP1 promotes p53 protein degradation by facilitating p53-Wip1 and p53-Mdm2 interaction
The protein p21WAF1/CIP1 diminishes p53 protein stability in cells, also reducing p53-S15 phosphorylation, which makes p53 more vulnerable to degradation. The study reveals that p21 promotes interactions between p53 and Wip1, as well as Mdm2, implying p21 plays a key role in downregulating p53 stability and could be a potential therapeutic target to restore p53 function in cancer cells.

Commented on p53-Induced DNA Bending: The Interplay between p53−DNA and p53−p53 Interactions
The DNA bending caused by p53 binding is influenced by the specific interactions between p53 and DNA, which can vary depending on the DNA sequence. The balance between p53 dimer-dimer interactions and p53-DNA interactions, which are closely tied to the DNA sequence and its flexibility, ultimately determines the extent of DNA bending.
