Abstract excerpt
More than half of human cancers contain mutations in the tumor suppressor protein p53, most of which accumulate in the DNA binding domain of the protein. Here we report the identification of a mutant p53, designated p53-46F, in which Ser-46 is replaced with phenylalanine. In vitro, adenovirus-mediated transduction of the p53-46F gene induced apoptosis more efficiently than wild-type p53 in a number of cancer cell...
