Shaping the p53 response with nucleoporins

Mol Cell. 2012 Dec 14;48(5):665-6. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2012.11.027.

Abstract

In this issue, Singer et al. (2012) reveal that the nucleoporin Nup98 supports adaptation to genotoxic stress by protecting specific p53-induced mRNAs from exosome-dependent degradation, suggesting that wild-type Nup98 may possess tumor suppressor function.
