Abstract excerpt
Most of the cancer-associated mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 map to its DNA-binding core domain. Many of them inactivate p53 by decreasing its thermodynamic stability. We have previously designed the superstable quadruple mutant M133L/V203A/N239Y/N268D containing the second-site suppressor mutations N239Y and N268D, which specifically restore activity and stability in several oncogenic mutants. Here we...
