Representation of molecular mechanisms through which wtp53 (green) and mutp53 (red) impact on Drosha activity. Upon DNA damage, the complex p53/p68 binds the microprocessor complex fostering the maturation of a subset of pri-miRNAs to pre-miRNAs. In a cellular context in which mutp53 is expressed, the last binds p68 and p72, the Microprocessor complex is dissociated and the maturation of a subset of pri-miRNAs to pre-miRNAs is impaired
