Activation of p53 sequence-specific DNA bindingby short single strands of DNA requires the p53 C-terminus

Open access
Jayaraman, Lata, Prives, Carol·1995·Cell

Abstract

Upon cellular DNA damage, the p53 tumor suppressor protein transmits a signal to genes that control the cell cycle and apoptosis. One function of p53 that is important for its role in this pathway is its ability to function as a sequence-specific transcriptional activator. We demonstrate here that short single DNA strands can markedly stimulate the ability of human and murine p53 proteins to bind specifically to a p53 response element in supercoiled DNA. We also show that single-stranded DNA does not stimulate binding by a truncated p53 that lacks the C-terminal domain. Finally, we establish that a peptide spanning the p53 C-terminus has the ability in trans to stimulate sequence-specific DNA binding by p53 dramatically. These data taken together suggest a model in which the p53 C-terminus can recognize DNA structures resulting from damage-induced lesions, and this interaction can be propagated to regulate positively p53 sequence-specific DNA binding.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
