Abstract excerpt
p53 plays an important role in restriction of abnormal cell proliferation. Loss of this safeguard function induced by p53 mutations seems to be a key mechanism in oncogenesis. It cannot be excluded however, that in addition to elimination of p53-dependent checkpoints and/or apoptosis p53 mutations may cause additional effects that contribute to oncogenic transformation. In order to analyse the effects of...
