Insights into the Effect of the G245S Single Point Mutation on the Structure of p53 and the Binding of the Protein to DNA
16 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor p53 is a potent tumor suppressor dubbed as the "guardian of the genome" because of its ability to orchestrate protective biological outputs in response to a variety of oncogenic stresses. Mutation and thus inactivation of p53 can be found in 50% of human tumors. The majority are missense mutations located in the DNA binding region. Among them, G245S is known to be a structural hotspot...
