Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have suggested that a rare class of p53 mutants found in tumours has a subtle transcriptional defect affecting bax induction but not p21 induction. We have therefore developed simple functional assays in yeast which can be used to identify these mutants. Analysis of 51 different mutations observed in human tumours showed that all mutants tested scored as mutant with the bax reporter strain but nine...
