Abstract excerpt
Although several biochemical features of p53 have been described, their relationship to tumor suppression remains uncertain. We have compared the ability of p53-derived proteins to act as sequence-specific transcriptional (SST) activators with their ability to suppress tumor cell growth, using an improved growth-suppression assay. Both naturally occurring and in vitro derived mutations that abrogated the SST...
