Bio Bytes 31: The structure and functions of p53 with Carol Prives

Description: In which Sophia speaks with Carol Prives, the Da Costa Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at Columbia University and a member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, about her journey researching the structure and function of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. She delves into the importance and regulation of p53, including its relationship with kinases, Mdm2, and the Mevalonate pathway. Editorial Note: During the discussion regarding the mevalonate pathway, the listener should note that genes in this pathway had reduced expression when mutant p53 levels were reduced. Pathway genes, themselves, were not mutated.
