Abstract excerpt
The vital tissue homeostasis regulator p53 forms a tetramer when it binds to DNA and regulates the genes that mediate essential biological processes such as cell-cycle arrest, senescence, DNA repair, and apoptosis. Missense mutations in the core DNA-binding domain (109-292) simultaneously cause the loss of p53 tumor suppressor function and accumulation of the mutant p53 proteins that are carcinogenic. The most...
