Oncogenic Gain of Function in Glioblastoma Is Linked to Mutant p53 Amyloid Oligomers

Summary: Tumor-associated p53 mutations endow cells with malignant phenotypes, including chemoresistance. Amyloid-like oligomers of mutant p53 transform this tumor suppressor into an oncogene. However, the composition and distribution of mutant p53 oligomers are unknown and the mechanism involved in...
