Abstract excerpt
Gain-of-function (GOF) p53 mutations occur commonly in human cancer and lead to both loss of p53 tumor suppressor function and acquisition of aggressive cancer phenotypes. The oncogenicity of GOF mutant p53 is highly related to its abnormal protein stability relative to wild type p53, and overall stoichiometric excess. We provide an overview of the mechanisms of dysfunction and abnormal stability of GOF p53...
