Mouse Mutants Reveal that Putative Protein Interaction Sites in the p53 Proline-Rich Domain Are Dispensable for Tumor Suppression
12 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
The stability and activity of tumor suppressor p53 are tightly regulated and partially depend on the p53 proline-rich domain (PRD). We recently analyzed mice expressing p53 with a deletion of the PRD (p53(DeltaP)). p53(DeltaP), a weak transactivator hypersensitive to Mdm2-mediated degradation, is unable to suppress oncogene-induced tumors. This phenotype could result from the loss of two motifs: Pin1 sites...
