Abstract excerpt
Transcription activation of the proapoptotic target genes is a means by which the p53 protein implements its function of tumor suppression. Zn(2+) is a known regulator of p53 binding to the target genes. We have previously obtained an evidence that amino acid substitutions in the p53 Zn(2+)-bindi...
