Abstract excerpt
We discovered that the human 'hot-spot' p53 mutant 143Ala is temperature sensitive for the binding of two DNA elements and for mediating the transcription of a downstream luciferase reporter gene. At 32.5 degrees C, 143Ala possesses strong DNA binding ability. In addition, its transcriptional activities are stronger than those of wild-type p53. At 37.5 degrees C, however, both the mutant's DNA binding and...
