Abstract
The p53 tumor suppressor protein is normally restrained by the Mdm2 oncoprotein, which promotes p53 ubiquitination. In a recent issue of Science, report that p53 may face two alternative fates, depending on Mdm2 levels: high Mdm2 drives p53 polyubiquitination and degradation within the cell nucleus, whereas low Mdm2 promotes p53 monoubiquitination and nuclear exclusion.Entities:
