Abstract excerpt
p53 tumor suppressor is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that controls the expression of many genes in response to diverse stress stimuli. p53 gene is often mutated in human cancer and in cancer cell lines. Several methods are available for identification of p53 mutations, including functional analysis of separated alleles in yeast (FASAY). FASAY distinguishes yeast colonies expressing functional p53...
