Investigation of Structural Mechanisms Underlying p53 Dysfunction Caused by 148 Missense Mutations Using AlphaFold3 and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
4 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Tumor protein p53 (TP53) is a crucial regulator of genomic integrity, frequently mutated in more than half of all human cancers. These mutations predominantly target the DNA-binding domain (DBD), impairing p53's interaction with DNA and its tumor-suppressive functions. To elucidate the structural and functional consequences of p53 mutations, we investigated 148 missense variants located within its DNA-binding...
