Sloan Kettering Institute Scientist, Scott Lowe, Chairman of the Geoffrey Beene Cancer Research Center, Helps Solve 30-Year-Old Mystery About p53 Protein — Dubbed ‘Guardian of the Genome’
Cancer biologist Scott Lowe says the p53 discovery came as a complete surprise and suggests a new way to think about treating cancer. More than half of all cancers have mutations in a gene called p53. The protein made from this gene is what’s called a tumor suppressor: When working properly, it guards against cancer development — in part, by detecting damaged DNA and alerting cells to repair it. Cells without working p53 are unable to properly repair damaged DNA, leading to a buildup of mutations, including large chromosomal alterations. Because of its important role in maintaining DNA integrity, scientists long ago dubbed p53 the “guardian of the genome.”
