A movable and regulable inactivation function within the central region of a temperature-sensitive p53 mutant.

Abstract excerpt

p53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer. Naturally occurring mutations of p53 are mainly located within a region containing residues 100-300 and are predominantly of missense type, resulting in loss of the protein's DNA binding activity. Here we show that this type of mutation also represses the p53 N-terminal activation domain. The repression activity is localized in the central region of mutant...
