Distinct target genes and effector processes appear to be critical for p53-activated responses to acute DNA damage versus p53-mediated tumour suppression

The p53 tumour suppressor is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer.This transcription factor can be activated by diverse cellular stresses, including DNA damage and oncogene activation.Through transcriptional induction of appropriate target genes, p53 can stimulate activity in a broad range of effector pathways, most notably cell cycle a
