Amyloidogenicity of p53: A Hidden Link Between Protein Misfolding and Cancer
28 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic aggregation is closely associated with various protein misfolding diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitusand Alzheimer's disease. Amyloidogenic proteins that have a propensity to assemble into amyloid oligomers and fibrils form the aggregates. The tumor suppressor p53, a transcription factor that regulates the cell cycle and apoptosis, is also amyloidogenic. In tumor models, both wild type and mutant...
