p53 transdominance but no gain of function in mouse brain tumor model.

Abstract excerpt

Although p53 mutations in tumors typically result in loss of transactivation of p53 target genes some mutants display gain-of-function activity. The latter has important implications for the design of rational cancer therapy. We previously described a germ-line p53 mutation (deletion of codon 236, Y236delta) associated with a familial brain tumor syndrome. To determine whether this tissue-specific tumor...
