When mutants gain new powers: News from the mutant p53 field

Brosh, Ran, Rotter, Varda·2009·Nature Reviews Cancer

Abstract

Ample data indicate that mutant p53 proteins not only lose their tumour suppressive functions, but also gain new abilities that promote tumorigenesis. Moreover, recent studies have modified our view of mutant p53 proteins, portraying them not as inert mutants, but rather as regulated proteins that influence the cancer cell transcriptome and phenotype. This influence is clinically manifested as association of TP53 mutations with poor prognosis and drug resistance in a growing array of malignancies. Here, we review recent studies on mutant p53 regulation, gain-of-function mechanisms, transcriptional effects and prognostic association, with a focus on the clinical implications of these findings.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Mut-p53 can exert a dominant-negative regulation over wild type p53 through protein-protein interactions and the formation of oligomeric complexes.

    “Further sustaining its tumorigenic effect, mut-p53 can exert a dominant-negative regulation over wt-p53 through protein-protein interactions and the formation of oligomeric complexes [78,79].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
