The tumor suppressor protein p53 induces apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and DNA repair along with other functions in a transcription-dependent manner [Vousden, K. H. Cell 2000, 103(5), 691-694]. The selection of these functions depends on sequence-specific recognition of p53 to a target decameric sequence of gene promoters [Kitayner, M.; et al. Mol. Cell 2006, 22(6), 741-753]. Amino acid residues in p53 that...
