Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumor suppressor is a tetrameric transcriptional enhancer, and its activity is compromised by mutations that cause amino acid substitutions in its tetramerization domain. Here we analyze the biochemical and biophysical properties of peptides corresponding to amino acids 319-358 of wild-type human p53, which includes the tetramerization domain, and that of a cancer-derived mutant with valine substituted...
