Abstract excerpt
We have measured the stability and stoichiometry of variants of the human p53 tetramerization domain to assess the effects of mutation on homo- and hetero-oligomerization. The residues chosen for mutation were those in the hydrophobic core that we had previously found to be critical for its stability but are not conserved in human p73 or p51 or in p53-related proteins from invertebrates or vertebrates. The...
