The tumor suppressor protein p53, a crucial player in the DNA damage response, is regulated in many ways, most notably through ubiquitination. In this issue, Yuan et al. (2010) identify the deubiquitinating protease USP10 as a new regulator of p53 in the DNA damage response and tumor development.
肿瘤抑制蛋白 p53 是 DNA 损伤反应中的关键因子,其受到多种方式的调控,其中最为重要的调控方式是泛素化。在本期杂志中,Yuan 等人(2010)发现去泛素化酶 USP10 是 DNA 损伤反应和肿瘤发生中 p53 的一个新的调控因子。
