The p53rd Psalm

[theweaselking]

p53 is my shepherd, I shall not cycle
It maketh me to lie down in G1
It leadeth me beside still nucleotide pools
It restoreth my genome
It leadeth me past the restriction point for replication's sake
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the cobalt irradiator
I shall fear no gamma rays, for thou art Guardian of the Genome
Thy amino and thy carboxy termini, they comfort me
Thou maintainest my genomic stability in the presence of mine enemies
Thou annointest my nucleus with p21/WAF1/Cip1/Sdi1/Pic1
my cyclin dependent kinases overflow
Surely pRb phosphorylation and E2F activation shall follow me
all the cycles of my life
and I shall dwell in a non-tumorigenic state until senescence

From PZ Myers

I'm a bio major with 50% comprehension, though I am using the excuse of being an ecologist.

I'm a physician with a history of one semester of molecular biology, and I understood everything but the different names for p21.

I'm a confirmed artsie, so it's all greek to me.

But my Ph.D.-in-biochemistry-wielding partner is ROFL, so that's a pretty good sign that that's some funny shit right there.
