TP53 (p53) directly stimulates transcription of RRM2B gene (p53R2), which encodes a critical subunit of the ribonucleotide reductase complex (Tanaka et al. 2000), responsible for de novo conversion of ribonucleotides (NTPs) to deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs). This regulation provides a direct mechanism through which TP53 contributes to DNA synthesis/repair. Mutations in RRM2B gene cause severe mitochondrial DNA depletion (Bourdon et al. 2007, Kulawiec et al. 2009).
