Abstract excerpt
Mutations at the tumour suppressor gene TP53 are associated with nearly half of human cancers, but they appear to be rare ( approximately 10%) in feline neoplasms. The reasons for this difference are presently unclear but might be related to evolutionary divergence of p53 functions. To begin exploring this issue, we developed a yeast-based functional assay to measure the transcriptional ability of wild-type (wt)...
