Abstract excerpt
We designed a series of nine-residue peptides that bound to a defined site on the tumor suppressor p53 and stabilized it against denaturation. To test whether the peptides could act as chaperones and rescue the tumor-suppressing function of oncogenic mutants of p53 in living cells, we treated human tumor cells with the fluorescein-labeled peptide Fl-CDB3 (fluorescent derivative of CDB3). Before treatment, the...
