Cellular response to DNA damage is multifacted in nature and involves a complex signaling network in which p53 functions as a "molecular node" for converging signals. p53 has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes primarily functioning as a transcription factor and also in a transcription-independent manner. It is rapidly activated following DNA damage with phosphorylation as one of the initial signals. Cellular context as well as the type and severity of DNA damage determine p53 act ...[more]
