There are 6000 genes in yeast; 21,700 in a nematode worm; 17,000 in a fly; 25,000 in the small plant Arabidopsis; and probably 20,000 to 25,000 in mice and humans

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.
