Iron excess is closely associated with tumorigenesis in multiple types of human cancers, underlying mechanisms yet unclear. Recently, iron deprivation has emerged as a major strategy for chemotherapy, but it exerts tumor suppression only on select malignancies. Here, we report that the suppressor protein p53 downregulated during excess. Strikingly, polyporphyrin heme binds to protein, interferes p53-DNA interactions, and triggers both nuclear export cytosolic degradation p53. Moreover,...
