Molecular beacons consist of a stem (5–7 bp), and a loop (18–30 base pairs) and are labeled at the 5′ and 3′ ends by fluorophores and quenchers, respectively.

MDM2 levels in the cytoplasm are controlled by

ATR and p14ARF (p19ARF in the mouse), sequesters it in the nucleolus, where it cannot access p53.
