p53: the ultimate tumor suppressor gene?

M Oren
Department of Chemical Immunology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.

Alterations in the gene encoding the cellular p53 protein are perhaps the most frequent type of genetic lesions in human cancer. At the heart of these alterations is the abrogation of the tumor suppressor activity of the normal p53. In many cases this is achieved through point mutations in p53, which often result in pronounced conformational changes. Such mutant polypeptides, which tend to accumulate to high levels in cancer cells, are believed to exert a dominant negative effect over coexpressed normal p53. Extensive research on p53, especially in the course of the last 3 years, has already provided much insight into the biological and biochemical mechanisms that underlie its capacity to act as a potent tumor suppressor. There are now many indications that p53 may play a central role in the control of cell proliferation, cell survival, and differentiation. Nevertheless, despite the purported importance of p53 for such crucial processes, mice can develop apparently without any defect in the total absence of p53. This raises the possibility that p53 may become critically limiting only when normal growth control is lost.
