Abstract excerpt
The low molecular weight compound PRIMA-1 and the structural analog PRIMA-1(MET), also named APR-246, reactivate mutant p53 through covalent binding to the core domain and induce apoptosis in tumor cells. Here, we asked whether PRIMA-1(MET)/APR-246 can rescue mutant forms of the p53 family members p63 and p73 that share high sequence homology with p53. We found that PRIMA-1(MET)/APR-246 can restore the...
