To prevent tumorigenesis, p53 stimulates transcription by facilitating the recruitment of the transcription machinery on target gene promoters. Cryo-Electron Microscopy studies on p53-bound RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) reveal that p53 structurally regulates Pol II to affect its DNA binding and elongation, providing new insights into p53-mediated transcriptional regulation.
为了预防肿瘤发生,p53 通过促进转录机制在靶基因启动子上的募集来刺激转录。对与 p53 结合的 RNA 聚合酶 II(Pol II)进行的冷冻电子显微镜研究表明,p53 在结构上调节 Pol II 以影响其 DNA 结合和延伸,这为 p53 介导的转录调控提供了新的见解。
