Cancer-derived p53 mutants suppress p53-target gene expression—potential mechanism for gain of function of mutant p53

Tumour-derived p53 mutants are thought to have acquired ‘gain-of-function’ properties that contribute to oncogenicity. We have tested the hypothesis that p53 mutants suppress p53-target gene expression, leading to enhanced cellular growth. Silencing of mutant p53 expression in several human cell lin...
