The ARF/p53 pathway

Curr Opin Genet Dev. 2000 Feb;10(1):94-9. doi: 10.1016/s0959-437x(99)00038-6.

Abstract

The ARF tumor suppressor connects pathways regulated by the retinoblastoma protein and p53. ARF inactivation reduces p53-dependent apoptosis induced by oncogenic signals. Nucleolar relocalization of Mdm2 by ARF connotes a novel mechanism for preventing p53 turnover and provides a framework for understanding how stress signals cooperate to regulate p53 function.
