Abstract excerpt
p53 appears to be a growth regulator, the perturbation of which induces changes in normal cell proliferation. Wild-type p53 protein is thought to function as a growth arrest gene, whereas mutant p53, which accumulates in transformed cells, has been shown to enhance malignant transformation. Both wild-type and mutant p53 migrate into the cell nucleus by means of identical nuclear localization signals (NLS)...
