    p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 inhibits transcription of a hexokinase to suppress mitochondrial respiration in human cancer cells

    Ravi Kumar, Simon Couly ... Ashish Lal
    Global proteomics and functional analyses reveal that p53-induced ZMAT3 suppresses mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting transcription of a hexokinase, uncovering a role for ZMAT3 in transcription.
