How p53 Molecules Solve the Target DNA Search Problem: A Review
Abstract
Interactions between DNA and DNA-binding proteins play an important role in many essential cellular processes. A key function of the DNA-binding protein p53 is to search for and bind to target sites incorporated in genomic DNA, which triggers transcriptional regulation. How do p53 molecules achieve “rapid” and “accurate” target search in living cells? The search dynamics of p53 were expected to include 3D diffusion in solution, 1D diffusion along DNA, and intersegmental transfer between two different DNA strands. Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy enabled the tracking of p53 molecules on DNA and the characterization of these dynamics quantitatively. Recent intensive single-molecule studies of p53 succeeded in revealing each of these search dynamics. Here, we review these studies and discuss the target search mechanisms of p53.

Figures

![Figure 2 Schematic diagram of representative single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. The system comprises a fluorescence microscope and a flow cell. Fluorescently labeled p53 is introduced into the flow cell using a syringe pump. DNA is tethered on one end to the MPC-polymer-coated glass surface of the flow cell in a line using the DNA garden method. The tethered DNA molecules are stretched by flow pressure. TIRF or HILO is used to illuminate DNA-bound p53 molecules. Fluorescence from the p53 molecules is detected by EM-CCD. The figure is adapted from ref. [25] with some modifications.](/paper-figures/6d87ffe31dd2452baba5da9f2f7dd476/how-p53-molecules-solve-the-target-dna-search-problem-a-review-figure-2.jpg)

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.
