Abstract excerpt
Wild-type p53 is a conformationally labile protein that undergoes nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling. MDM2-mediated ubiquitination promotes p53 nuclear export by exposing or activating a nuclear export signal (NES) in the C terminus of p53. We observed that cancer-derived p53s with a mutant (primary antibody 1620-/pAb240+) conformation localized in the cytoplasm to a greater extent and displayed increased...
