Abstract excerpt
Upon DNA damage, phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of wild-type p53 tumor suppressor protein signals its functional activation. However, very little is known about phosphorylation and localization of mutant p53. We found that mutant p53 protein in UV-induced murine primary skin tumors and cultured cell lines was constitutively phosphorylated at serine 15 residue and localized in the cell's nuclei. To...
