Synergistic interaction of Rnf8 and p53 in the protection against genomic instability and tumorigenesis.

Synergistic interaction of Rnf8 and p53 in the protection against genomic instability and tumorigenesis.

Rnf8 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a key role in the DNA damage response as well as in the maintenance of telomeres and chromatin remodeling. Rnf8(-/-) mice exhibit developmental defects and increased susceptibility to tumorigenesis. We observed that levels of p53, a central regulator of the...
