TP53 and 53BP1 Reunited

Trends Cell Biol. 2017 May;27(5):311-313. doi: 10.1016/j.tcb.2016.10.004. Epub 2016 Nov 17.

Abstract

Identified as a TP53-binding protein, 53BP1 is a key regulator of the cellular response to double-strand breaks, a TP53-independent activity. Recent data have established a new TP53-dependent function for 53BP1 in mitotic surveillance after centrosome loss.

Keywords: 53BP1; TP53; cell cycle; checkpoints.
