Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumour suppressor gene is intensively studied because mutations in this gene are the most common genetic alteration so far identified in human cancer. Considerable emphasis has thus been placed on characterizing the biological differences between mutant and wild-type p53 protein. This has led to the realization that in cultured cells, mutant p53 behaves like an oncogene, whereas wild-type p53 is a tumor...
