Mutant p53 – Heat Shock Response Oncogenic Cooperation: A New Mechanism of Cancer Cell Survival
22 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
The main tumor suppressor function of p53 as a "guardian of the genome" is to respond to cellular stress by transcriptional activation of apoptosis, growth arrest, or senescence in damaged cells. Not surprisingly, mutations in the p53 gene are the most frequent genetic alteration in human cancers. Importantly, mutant p53 (mutp53) proteins not only lose their wild-type tumor suppressor activity but also can...
