Temperature-sensitive mutants of p53 associated with human carcinoma of the lung.

Abstract excerpt

We have compared the effects of specific point mutations on the tertiary and quaternary structure of the human p53 protein. Eight mutants, each derived from primary resected tissues of lung carcinomas, were expressed in vitro under strictly defined conditions, such that the only known variant was the point mutation present in each p53 mRNA. All the mutations were located in highly conserved domains. The tertiary...
