摘要: Most tumors inactivate the p53 tumor suppressor pathway via single nucleotide changes of TP53 gene itself, which produces proteins with missense mutations. mutant clearly lose normal activities. Some are partial loss function mutations that retain some activities and probably cooperate other in to initiate development. Many mutants also exhibit gain-of-function dominant negative properties. Several mouse models have been generated these now offer opportunities study effects chemotherapeutic modalities.
