Abstract

p53 mutants that lack DNA-binding activities, and therefore, transcriptional activities, are among the most common mutations in human cancer. Recently, a new role for p53 has come to light, as the tumour suppressor also functions in DNA repair and recombination. In cooperation with its function in transcription, the transcription-independent roles of p53 contribute to the control and efficiency of DNA repair and recombination.
