title: The role of p53 in the normal control of cell proliferation.
abstract: The regulation of cell proliferation involves p53. A mutant allele of p53, p53-Val135, has been found to be temperature-sensitive for function with separable suppressor and promoter effects on cell proliferation. These opposing suppressor and promoter functions of p53 correlate with two alternative, temperature-sensitive conformations of the p53-Val135 polypeptide.
