| Abstract | The tumor suppressor gene p53 has been identified as the most frequent site of genetic alterations in human cancers. Vinyl chloride, a known human carcinogen, has been associated with specific A → T transversions at codons 179, 249, and 255 of the p53 gene. The mutations result in amino acid substitutions of His → Leu at residue 179, Arg → Trp at residue 249, and Ile → Phe at residue 255 in highly conserved regions of the DNA-binding core domain of the p53 protein. We previously used molecular dynamics calculations to demonstrate that the latter two mutants contain certain common regions that differ substantially in conformation from the wild-type structure. In order to determine whether these conformational changes are consistent for other p53 mutants, we have now used molecular dynamics to determine the structure of the DNA-binding core domain of the Leu 179 p53 mutant. The results indicate that the Leu 179 mutant differs substantially from the wild-type structure in certain discrete regions that are similar to those noted previously in the other p53 mutants. One of these regions (residues 204–217) contains the epitope for the monoclonal antibody PAb240, which is concealed in the wild-type structure, but accessible in the mutant structure, and another region (residues 94–110) contains the epitope for the monoclonal antibody PAb1620, which is accessible in the wild-type structure, but concealed in the mutant structure. Immunologic analyses of tumor tissue known to contain this mutation confirmed these predicted conformational shifts in the mutant p53 protein. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
