Contribution of the DNA binding domain of p53 to regulation of its stability

Tumour suppressor p53 is frequently mutated in cancers. While wild type p53 is normally a rapidly degraded protein, mutant forms of p53 are stabilised and accumulate to high levels in tumour cells. Several studies have shown that mutant p53 acquires oncogenic properties and actively contributes to t...
