Abstract excerpt
Tumor-derived p53 mutants can transcriptionally activate a number of promoters of genes involved in cellular proliferation. For this transactivation, mutant p53 does not use the wild-type p53 DNA-binding site, suggesting a mechanism of transactivation that is independent of direct DNA binding. Here we describe our analysis of the domain requirements for mutant p53 to transactivate promoters of the human epidermal...
