Regulation of miRNAs processing by Mutant p53. Mutants of p53 hinder the association between RNA helicases p72/82 and the microprocessor complex (DROSHA-DGCR8), thereby inhibiting miRNAs' maturation post-transcriptional level. Camptothecin induces acetylation of K120 within the DNA Binding Domain of p53, which augments its association with p72/p82. Whether this drug may revert the poor association of p53 mutants with p72/p82 is not known. p53R273H inhibits the transcription of DICER mRNA through both direct and indirect inhibition of transactivation of TA-p63.
