The overexpression of COP1 has been reported to occur in several tumors and may be indicative of its overall oncogenic effect, which in turn might be originated by a direct interaction of COP1 with p53.

The formation of a single p53–COP1 bimolecular complex was visualized by atomic force microscopy imaging on a mica substrate. The kinetic characterization of the complex, performed by atomic force spectroscopy and surface plasmon resonance, provided a KD value of ~10-8 M and a relative long lifetime in the order of minutes, both at the single-molecule level and in bulk solution. The surprisingly high affinity value and low dissociation rate of the p53–COP1 bimolecular complex, which is even stronger than the p53–MDM2 complex, should be considered a benchmark for designing, development and optimization of suitable drugs able to antagonize the complex formation with the aim of preventing the inhibitory effect of COP1 on the p53 oncosuppressive function.
