Abstract | BACKGROUND: MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have compared p53(mt) to wild-type p53 (p53wt) in p53-null cells. RESULTS: p53(mt) had lost the transcriptional transactivation activity of p53(wt), and unlike p53(wt), partially localized to the cytoplasm. Unlike mutant p53 from many human cancers, p53(mt) did not show a gain of function or a dominant negative phenotype. Adenovirus expressing p53(wt) but not p53(mt) inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis of p53-null cells. CONCLUSION:
