p53: gene that controls cancer
Text created by automatic translator Elia and has not been subsequently revised by translators. Elia Elhuyar
When DNA is damaged, it activates the gene called p53 and controls cancer tumors. This gene knows a sign that DNA is damaged; when that signal appears it prevents the DNA damaged by the p53 protein accumulated in the cell nucleus from being copied or, otherwise, encourages it to die. Scientists at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in North Carolina have claimed to have found the mechanism of this phenomenon. They consider that an internal protein amino acid is responsible for transporting damaged DNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where DNA degrades.
