Regulation of p53 family members by the ubiquitin-like SUMO system
Abstract
p53 and its cousins p63 and p73 are critical regulators of the genotoxic stress response in mammalian cells. Their activity is controlled by an intricate network of post-translational modifications. The ubiquitin-like SUMO system targets all three family members and modulates their transcriptional activity, stability or subcellular trafficking. While the SUMO system appears to primarily exert a negative regulatory function on p73 and p63, both activating and repressing activities have been reported on p53. Here we will give a synopsis of the multifaceted effects of SUMO on p53 family members.

The PIAS family of E3 ligases mediates p53 SUMOylation.
“This can occur in vitro in the absence of a defined E3 ligase, [116,117], but the PIAS family of E3 ligases was subsequently determined to mediate p53 SUMOylation [118].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
