(a) Schematic of p5325,26, p5353,54,
and p5325,26,53,54 mutant p53 proteins. TAD: Transactivation Domain 1 or
2, PRD: Proline-Rich Domain, Tet: Tetramerization Domain, Basic: Basic Residue-Rich
Domain. (b)
p53LSL-mut/+ mice (where mut can denote any of the p53
TAD mutants) were crossed to p53+/+;CMV-Cre mice, which
express Cre in the germline, to assess viability and developmental phenotypes of the
p53 mutant-expressing progeny. (c) Table summarizing
the actual genotypes and ultimate functional genotypes of progeny from crosses of
p53LSL-25,26,53,54/+ and
p53+/−;CMV-Cre mice, as used throughout the
manuscript. While
p53LSL-25,26,53,54/+;CMV-Cre is the
actual initial genotype, when Cre acts to delete the Lox-Stop-Lox
cassette, the genotype will be written as
p5325,26,53,54/+ to reflect this recombination. In the
text and figure labels, the Cre nomenclature for both control and
p5325,26,53,54/+ embryos is excluded for simplicity.
Controls for analyses comprise embryos both with and without the
CMV-Cre transgene, as summarized in Extended-Data Fig. 3.
