[HTML][HTML] Gain-of-function mutant p53 promotes cell growth and cancer cell metabolism via inhibition of AMPK activation

…, AM Ward, VC Sandulache, SA Jasser, HD Skinner… - Molecular cell, 2014 - cell.com
Many mutant p53 proteins (mutp53s) exert oncogenic gain-of-function (GOF) properties, but
the mechanisms mediating these functions remain poorly defined. We show here that GOF …
