P53 is a tumor suppressors protein. The protein is present in the cell at all times but is activated by protein kinases that are, in turned activated by DNA damage. A mutation of the P 53 gene in cell results in a form of P53 that is permanently active. What would happen to the mutant version of the P53 gene?
