Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have described one nuclear localization signal (NLSI) in p53 and speculated on two additional sites termed NLSII and NLSIII. Drug-resistant KB cells selected with cisplatin or oxaliplatin were found to have increased p53 levels and in oxaliplatin-selected cells, a larger p53 predominantly in the cytoplasm. In oxaliplatin-selected cells a single nucleotide deletion in the sequence-encoding amino...
