Abstract excerpt
p53 transactivates cell cycle inhibitory, apoptosis or senescence-related genes in response to DNA damage to protect the genetic integrity of the cell. Highlighting its critical tumor suppressor functions, p53 is mutated, lost, or functionally inactivated in nearly all cancers. When mutated within its core DNA binding domain, p53's normal instability is abrogated, and oncogenic gain-of-function properties are...
