Abstract excerpt
A functional assay was developed in yeast to identify mutations induced by DNA-damaging agents at the flounder TP53 locus. This assay named FACIM for functional analysis of chemically-induced p53 mutations, is based on the assumption that most genotoxin-induced mutations inactivate transcriptional activity of the TP53 protein. The functional status of the protein expressed in yeast was measured using a...
