Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor protein p53 is one of the most frequently mutated proteins in cancer cells and is a critical target for anticancer therapies. In the nucleus, the p53 core domain binds DNA response elements as a tetramer to regulate gene transcription. During early cancer development, mutant and wild-type p53 coexist and assemble into a heterotetramer. Experimental studies confirm that the R249S mutant exerts...
