This change results in Hb tetramers that aggregate into arrays upon deoxygenation in the tissues, leading to deformation of red blood cells (RBCs) into sickle-like shapes, making them relatively inflexible and unable to traverse the capillary beds.
When S100B binds to p53 protein, it inhibits the calcium-dependent phosphorylation of p53 by protein kinase C and prevents the formation of functionally active p53 tetramers.
