Abstract excerpt
The p53 protein is structurally and functionally divided into five domains. The proline-rich domain is localized at amino acids 55-100. 319 missense mutations were identified solely in the proline domain from human cancers. Six hotspot mutations were identified at amino acids 72, 73, 82, 84, 89, and 98. Codon 72 contains a polymorphism that changes from proline (and African descent) to arginine (with Caucasian...
