GC-selective DNA-binding antibiotic, Mithramycin A, reveals multiple points of control in the regulation of Hdm2 protein synthesis

The primary role of the Hdm2/Mdm2 oncoprotein is to regulate the levels and activity of the transcription factor p53. Hdm2 synthesis is itself tightly controlled and, as demonstrated by a recently described SNP (SNP309) in the hdm2-P2 promoter, minor variations in Hdm2 expression have phenotypic con...
