A Mutant p53 That Discriminates between p53-Responsive Genes Cannot Induce Apoptosis
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
Human wild-type (wt) p53 can induce apoptosis in transiently transfected H1299 cells maintained at 37 degrees C, whereas tumor-derived mutant forms of p53 (with the mutation Ala-143, His-175, or Trp-248) fail to do so. At 37 degrees C, p53 with a mutation to Ala at amino acid 143 (p53Ala143) was transcriptionally inactive. However, at 32 degrees C, p53Ala143 strongly activated transcription from several...
