Mutant p53 : One, No One and One Hundred Thousand
Encoded by the mutated variants of the TP53 tumor suppressor gene, mutant p53 proteins are getting an increased experimental support as active oncoproteins promoting tumor growth and metastasis.

The Expression Levels of XLF and Mutant P53 Are Inversely Correlated in Head and Neck Cancer Cells. [PDF]
XRCC4-like factor (XLF), also known as Cernunnos, is a protein encoded by the human NHEJ1 gene and an important repair factor for DNA double-strand breaks.

Missense p53 mutations (mutp53) occur in approx. 70% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC). Typically, mutp53 proteins are aberrantly stabilized by Hsp90/Hsp70/Hsp40 chaperone complexes.

Benzyl Isothiocyanate potentiates p53 signaling and antitumor effects against breast cancer through activation of p53-LKB1 and p73-LKB1 axes. [PDF]
Functional reactivation of p53 pathway, although arduous, can potentially provide a broad-based strategy for cancer therapy owing to frequent p53 inactivation in human cancer.

Chromatin dysregulation by mutant p53
The TP53 gene, which encodes a DNA sequence-dependent transcriptional regulator, is arguably the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer. Whereas wild-type p53 is restricted to its cognate DNA binding sites, mutant p53 (via mutation in the DNA binding domain) is no longer constrained to specific genomic sites.

Acquisition of aneuploidy drives mutant p53-associated gain-of-function phenotypes
Previous studies report that mutant p53 proteins have gain-of-function activities and cause oncogenic phenotypes. Herein, the authors engineered two isogenic epithelial cell lines to express wild-type or missense mutant p53 or be deficient for p53 ...

Background & Aims: TP53 mutations underlie Barrett’s esophagus (BE) progression to dysplasia and cancer. During BE progression, the ubiquitin ligase (E3) RNF128/GRAIL switches expression from isoform 2 (Iso2) to Iso1, stabilizing mutant p53. However,

Mutant p53 establishes targetable tumor dependency by promoting unscheduled replication [PDF]
Gain-of-function (GOF) p53 mutations are observed frequently in most intractable human cancers and establish dependency for tumor maintenance and progression.

Depletion of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) enhances SAHA sensitivity of p53-mutated pancreatic cancer cells through the regulation of mutant p53 and TAp63. [PDF]
Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) represents one of the new class of anti-cancer drugs. However, multiple lines of clinical evidence indicate that SAHA might be sometimes ineffective on certain solid tumors including pancreatic cancer. In this study,

Cancer-derived p53 mutants suppress p53-target gene expression--potential mechanism for gain of function of mutant p53 [PDF]
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 lines was found to lead to the upregulation of wild-type ...
