Abstract
Presents a study which examined how the ability of tumor suppressor p53 to regulate RNA polymerase (pol) III transcription is influenced by various perturbations that occur in human tumors. Transcriptional activity of pol III in primary fibroblasts of patients that inherit mutant forms of p53; Materials and methods used in the study; Results.
