Akt Regulation of Mdm2-p53 Signaling in Cellular Stress Responses and Tumorigenesis

In cells undergoing stress, the p53 transcription factor is stabilized and activates the expression of numerous genes contributing to p53-mediated tumor suppression. One p53 target gene is Mdm2, which encodes an oncoprotein that binds and ubiquitinates p53 for proteasomal degradation, thus limiting...
