Abstract excerpt
The formation of a tetrameric assembly is essential for the ability of the tumor suppressor protein p53 to act as a transcription factor. Such a quaternary conformation is driven by a specific tetramerization domain, separated from the central DNA-binding domain by a flexible linker. Despite the distance, functional crosstalk between the two domains has been reported. This phenomenon can explain the pathogenicity...
