24
Q

Mechanism of P53 action

A

ATM and ATR phosphorylate MDM2 which is normally bound to p53
p53 then acts as a transcription factor for other genes that arrest the cell cycle like p21
If DNA is repaired MDM2 is upregulated and p53 is bound again and degraded
If no repair p53 activated cell senescence through E2F pathway or apoptosis via activation of caspases
