Abstract excerpt
Mutant p53 can contribute to transformation, while wild-type (wt) p53 is not oncogenic and actually inhibits transformation. Furthermore, wt p53 may act as a suppressor gene in human carcinogenesis. We now describe the temperature-sensitive behavior of a particular mutant, p53val135. Like other p53 mutants, it can elicit transformation at 37.5 degrees C. However, at 32.5 degrees C it suppresses transformation,...
