RB regulates the stability and the apoptotic function of p53 via MDM2.

The binding of RB to MDM2 is shown to be essential for RB to overcome both the antiapoptotic function of MDM2 and the MDM2-dependent degradation of p53. The RB-MDM2 interaction does not prevent MDM2 from inhibiting p53-dependent transcription, but the RB-MDM2 complex still binds to p53. Since RB spe...
