Application

Nutlin-3a has been used as a tumor suppressor p53(TP53) stabilizer and as an inhibitor of the mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2)–p53 interaction.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nutlin-3a [(-)-Nutlin] is a more potent diastereoisomer of racemic MDM2 antagonist Nutlin-3. It was called enantiomer-a since it elutes as the first peak from chiral purification of racemic nutlin-3. Nutlin-3a is a potent inhibitor of MDM2 (mouse double minute 2) binding to p53 that induces the expression of p53 regulated genes, and shows potent antiproliferative activity in cells expressing functional p53. Nutlin-3a is 150 times more potent than Nutlin-3b.
Nutlin-3a is a potent nongenotoxic drug. It acts as a tumor suppressor p53 (TP53) activator and stabilizer.

Systematic identification of noncoding regulatory elements has, to date, mainly relied on large-scale reporter assays that do not reproduce endogenous conditions. We present two distinct CRISPR-Cas9 genetic screens to identify and characterize functional enhancers in their native context. Our strategy
