Mutant p53: evolving perspectives.

Abstract excerpt

The discovery of the p53 tumor suppressor protein raised fundamental questions about cell cycle regulation that have spanned several decades. TP53 mutations are found in most human cancers, most frequently as missense alterations in the DNA-binding domain (DBD). As a master regulator of both cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic functions, mutant p53 contributes to pro-oncogenic activities through gain-of-function...
