Abstract excerpt
Tumor suppressor p53, a critical regulator of cell fate, is frequently mutated in cancer. Mutation of p53 abolishes its tumor-suppressing functions or endows oncogenic functions. We recently found that p53 binds via its proline-rich domain to peptidase D (PEPD) and is activated when the binding is disrupted. The proline-rich domain in p53 is rarely mutated. Here, we show that oncogenic p53 mutants closely...
