Variation at the R181 residue of p53 confers loss of p53 DNA binding cooperativity with the retention of mitochondrial-associated apoptosis
2025-08-13
Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumor suppressor binds DNA cooperatively as a tetramer, mediated by salt-bridge interactions between p53 residues E180 and R181. Variants at the R181 residue are one of the most identified TP53 pathogenic variants by germline genetic testing. We show that families with TP53 p.R181H and p.R181C variants have an attenuated cancer risk phenotype compared to patients with hotspot dominant negative loss of fu...
