The MDM2 protein in its active form can form a complex with p53, inhibiting the transcription factor and causing p53 ubiquitinylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation, ATM phosphorylates MDM2 to inactivate it, causing increased stabilization of p53, but there is one another gene or key regulator which controls the level of MDM2;

The correct order for molecular chaperone–mediated protein folding is:

I – exchange of ATP for ADP on chaperone

II – chaperone undergoes conformational change, which affects protein folding

III – chaperone binds to exposed hydrophobic residues on unfolded protein

IV – folded protein is released
