Abstract excerpt
The tetramerization domain for wild-type p53 (p53tet-wt) and a p53 mutant, R337H (p53tet-R337H), associated with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) in children, can be converted from the soluble native state to amyloid-like fibrils under certain conditions. Circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and staining with Congo red and thioflavin T showed that p53tet-wt and p53tet-R337H adopt an...
