Abstract excerpt
The best understood function of p53 is that of cell growth suppression and this is likely to involve sequence-specific DNA binding and modulation of gene expression. Casein kinase II phosphorylates the C-terminal serine of p53 (residue 389 for murine p53) and mutation of this site abolishes p53 growth suppressor function. DNA binding by purified p53 is 'activated' by casein kinase II, suggesting that the carboxyl...
