The tumor suppressor protein p53 is a transcription factor that is frequently mutated in human cancers. In response to DNA damage, p53 protein is stabilized and activated by post-translational modifications that enable it to induce either apoptosis or cell cycle arrest. Using a novel yeast p53 dissociator assay, we identify hADA3, a part of histone acetyltransferase complexes, as an important cofactor for p53 activity. p53 and hADA3 physically interact in human cells. This interaction is enhance ...[more]
