Abstract excerpt
The p53 protein specifically binds DNA sequences and activates transcription. In this study, we investigated the requirement of the carboxyl (C)- or amino (N)-terminal domain of p53 for the binding and transactivation of two DNA elements, p53CON and the ribosomal gene cluster (RGC). Three human p53 mutants with deletion in either the C-terminus or N-terminus were used. Mobility-shift assays showed that the...
