Abstract
Background: Nucleolar disruption is involved in cellular stress response and is sufficient for p53 activation. p53 tetramerization is crucial to exert its activity. Results: The nucleolar protein MYBBP1A enhanced p53 tetramerization by directly interacting with p53. Conclusion: p53 tetramerization by MYBBP1A is indispensable for activating p53 under nucleolar stress. Significance: This is the first report to describe the possible mechanism underlying p53 tetramerization in cells under nucleolar stress.
