Sentences with phrase «serine18 phosphorylation»

First, we will use our unique DNA - and chromatin - templated in vitro transcription systems to investigate the direct role of p53 serine18 phosphorylation in sestrin gene activation through modulation of p53 - coactivator interactions.

However, it is unclear whether this enhanced interaction selectively facilitates transcription of specific p53 target genes, including sestrins, or whether p53 serine18 phosphorylation also regulates specific target genes by altering interactions of p53 with other coactivators such as chromatin modifying enzymes.
