Genomic stress: demise and resurrection of the guardian angel p53
Hazards from the environment or originating within our body constantly challenge the integrity of our DNA and cause genomic stress. As genomic stability is essential for health at the cellular, organismal or species level, our cells have developed coping mechanisms to deal with DNA damage. This is centrally coordinated by the p53 protein, which is therefore dubbed ‘guardian of the genome’. When p53 fails, this ultimately triggers cancer. It is therefore not surprising that p53 mutations are the most frequent alterations observed in cancer cells and that drugs which restore the anti-cancer activity of mutant p53 are considered a holy grail of tumor therapy. However, fixing a broken protein is pharmacologically far from trivial and no p53 mutant is like the other. I will present experimental insight from our lab into the complexity of the p53 mutome, discuss functional consequences and clinical implications of distinct p53 mutations, and highlight novel concepts for therapeutic p53 restoration.
