Abstract

The present invention relates to novel methods for modulating the activity of p53 tumor suppressor protein by affecting p53 translational regulation. More specifically, the invention relates to novel methods for modulating p53 mRNA translation in a cell by affecting a function of a p53 5′-untranslated region (5′UTR), including its interaction with proteins such as Ribosomal Protein L26 (RPL26), nucleolin, and p53. The invention also relates to the use of these methods for treating cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and minimizing the negative effects of cellular stresses.
