Inhibition of the mutant p53 gene in transformation assays.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation of the p53 gene is a key element in the development of several human cancers. Intron 4, a noncoding region of the p53 gene, is required for optimal expression of that gene. We have previously shown that nuclear protein binds intron 4 and have defined the protein-binding site. In this paper we address the question, "Does the mutant p53 gene's ability to transform cells to the malignant phenotype depend on...
