The p53 tumor suppressor is also a regulator of metabolism, but the mechanisms controlling p53-associated metabolic activities remain poorly understood. Here the authors report that the deletion of the multifunctional protein E4F1 is protective against diet-induced obesity in mice, and E4F1 regulates adipocyte lipid metabolism through p53.
