The induction of apoptosis by p53 in response to cellular stress is its most conserved function and crucial for p53 tumor suppression. We recently reported that p53 directly induces oligomerization of the BH1,2,3 effector protein Bak, leading to outer mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (OMMP) with release of apoptotic activator proteins. One important mechanism by which p53 achieves OMMP is by forming an inhibitory complex with the anti-apoptotic BclXL protein. In contrast, the p53 complex with the Bcl2 homolog has not been interrogated. Here we have undertaken a detailed characterization of the p53-Bcl2 interaction using structural, biophysical, and mutational analyses. We have identified the p53 DNA binding domain as the binding interface for Bcl2 using solution NMR. The affinity of the p53-Bcl2 complex was determined by surface plasmon resonance analysis (BIAcore) to have a dominant component KD 535 +/- 24 nm. Moreover, in contrast to wild type p53, endogenous missense mutants of p53 are unable to form complexes with endogenous Bcl2 in human cancer cells. Functionally, these mutants are all completely or strongly compromised in mediating OMMP, as measured by cytochrome c release from isolated mitochondria. These data implicate p53-Bcl2 complexes in contributing to the direct mitochondrial p53 pathway of apoptosis and further support the notion that the DNA binding domain of p53 is a dual function domain, mediating both its transactivation function and its direct mitochondrial apoptotic function. 相似文献

The sequence-specific binding to DNA is crucial for the p53 tumor suppressor function. To investigate the constraints imposed on p53-DNA recognition by nucleosomal organization, we studied binding of the p53 DNA binding domain (p53DBD) and full-length wild-type p53 protein to a single p53 response element (p53RE) placed near the nucleosomal dyad in six rotational settings. We demonstrate that the strongest p53 binding occurs when the p53RE in the nucleosome is bent in the same direction as observed for the p53-DNA complexes in solution and in co-crystals. The p53RE becomes inaccessible, however, if its orientation in the core particle is changed by ∼180°. Our observations indicate that the orientation of the binding sites on a nucleosome may play a significant role in the initial p53-DNA recognition and subsequent cofactor recruitment. 相似文献

Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSB) form a class of proteins that bind preferentially single-stranded DNA with high affinity. They are involved in DNA metabolism in all organisms and serve a vital role in replication, recombination and repair of DNA. In this report, we identify human mitochondrial SSB (HmtSSB) as a novel protein-binding partner of tumour suppressor p53, in mitochondria. It binds to the transactivation domain (residues 1–61) of p53 via an extended binding interface, with dissociation constant of 12.7 (± 0.7) μM. Unlike most binding partners reported to date, HmtSSB interacts with both TAD1 (residues 1–40) and TAD2 (residues 41–61) subdomains of p53. HmtSSB enhances intrinsic 3′-5′ exonuclease activity of p53, particularly in hydrolysing 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) present at 3′-end of DNA. Taken together, our data suggest that p53 is involved in DNA repair within mitochondria during oxidative stress. In addition, we characterize HmtSSB binding to ssDNA and p53 N-terminal domain using various biophysical measurements and we propose binding models for both. 相似文献

The BH3-only protein PUMA plays an important role in the activation of apoptosis in response to p53. In different studies,
PUMA has been described to function by either directly activating the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Bak, or by neutralizing
anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl2 family. We have examined the contribution of regions of PUMA other than the BH3 domain
to its localization and function. Although the hydrophobic domain in the C-terminus of PUMA is necessary for efficient mitochondrial
localization of PUMA itself, PUMA proteins lacking this region can still induce apoptosis and localize to the mitochondria
through binding to Bcl2. Even a nuclear localization signal (NLS)-tagged PUMA protein retains apoptotic activity and can be
efficiently relocalized from the nucleus after interaction with ectopically expressed Bcl2, underscoring the efficiency of
this interaction. Interestingly, unlike the Bcl2 interaction, the binding of PUMA to Bax is severely compromised by the loss
of the C-terminal domain of PUMA. However, since the loss of the C-terminus does not compromise the ability of PUMA to induce
cell death, our results indicate that the key apoptotic function of PUMA is through interaction with anti-apoptotic proteins
such as Bcl2. 相似文献

We established a series of stable transfectants expressing wild-type and three mutant LANA; amino terminus, carboxyl terminus and amino terminus plus DNA binding domain, as a new strategy to assess systematically the interactions and binding domains with cellular proteins. Using the system, we reported that LANA specifically bound to p53 via DNA binding domain. As for LANA function in the regulation of p53 through the interaction, we showed that polyubiquitylation of p53 in the presence of LANA was obviously increased. LANA also associated with Cullin 5 and Rbx1, active subunit of E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Taken together, the present study suggests that LANA induce enhancement of p53 ubiquitylation and degradation into proteasome, consequently contributing to latent persistence. 相似文献

The p53 protein is frequently mutated in a very large proportion of human tumors, where it seems to acquire gain-of-function activity that facilitates tumor onset and progression. A possible mechanism is the ability of mutant p53 proteins to physically interact with other proteins, including members of the same family, namely p63 and p73, inactivating their function. Assuming that this interaction might occurs at the level of the monomer, to investigate the molecular basis for this interaction, here, we sample the structural flexibility of the wild-type p53 monomeric protein. The results show a strong stability up to 850 ns in the DNA binding domain, with major flexibility in the N-terminal transactivations domains (TAD1 and TAD2) as well as in the C-terminal region (tetramerization domain). Several stable hydrogen bonds have been detected between N-terminal or C-terminal and DNA binding domain, and also between N-terminal and C-terminal. Essential dynamics analysis highlights strongly correlated movements involving TAD1 and the proline-rich region in the N-terminal domain, the tetramerization region in the C-terminal domain; Lys120 in the DNA binding region. The herein presented model is a starting point for further investigation of the whole protein tetramer as well as of its mutants. 相似文献

MDMX is an important regulator of p53 during embryonic development and malignant transformation. Previous studies showed that casein kinase 1α (CK1α) stably associates with MDMX, stimulates MDMX-p53 binding, and cooperates with MDMX to inactivate p53. However, the mechanism by which CK1α stimulates MDMX-p53 interaction remains unknown. Here, we present evidence that p53 binding by the MDMX N-terminal domain is inhibited by the central acidic region through an intramolecular interaction that competes for the p53 binding pocket. CK1α binding to the MDMX central domain and phosphorylation of S289 disrupts the intramolecular interaction, allowing the N terminus to bind p53 with increased affinity. After DNA damage, the MDMX-CK1α complex is disrupted by Chk2-mediated phosphorylation of MDMX at S367, leading to reduced MDMX-p53 binding. Therefore, CK1α is an important functional partner of MDMX. DNA damage activates p53 in part by disrupting CK1α-MDMX interaction and reducing MDMX-p53 binding affinity. 相似文献

The eukaryotic DNA replication protein Mcm10 associates with chromatin in early S-phase and is required for assembly and function of the replication fork protein machinery. Xenopus laevis (X) Mcm10 binds DNA via a highly conserved internal domain (ID) and a C-terminal domain (CTD) that is unique to higher eukaryotes. Although the structural basis of the interactions of the ID with DNA and polymerase α is known, little information is available for the CTD. We have identified the minimal DNA binding region of the XMcm10-CTD and determined its three-dimensional structure by solution NMR. The CTD contains a globular domain composed of two zinc binding motifs. NMR chemical shift perturbation and mutational analysis show that ssDNA binds only to the N-terminal (CCCH-type) zinc motif, whose structure is unique to Mcm10. The second (CCCC-type) zinc motif is not involved in DNA binding. However, it is structurally similar to the CCCC zinc ribbon in the N-terminal oligomerization domain of eukaryotic and archaeal MCM helicases. NMR analysis of a construct spanning both the ID and CTD reveals that the two DNA binding domains are structurally independent in solution, supporting a modular architecture for vertebrate Mcm10. Our results provide insight in the action of Mcm10 in the replisome and support a model in which it serves as a central scaffold through coupling of interactions with partner proteins and the DNA. 相似文献

Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is an abundant protein that is highly conserved in eukaryotes. However, its primary function is still not clear. Human TCTP interacts with the metazoan-specific eukaryotic elongation factor 1Bδ (eEF1Bδ) and inhibits its guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity, but the structural mechanism remains unknown. The interaction between TCTP and eEF1Bδ was investigated by NMR titration, structure determination, paramagnetic relaxation enhancement, site-directed mutagenesis, isothermal titration calorimetry, and HADDOCK docking. We first demonstrated that the catalytic GEF domain of eEF1Bδ is not responsible for binding to TCTP but rather a previously unnoticed central acidic region (CAR) domain in eEF1Bδ. The mutagenesis data and the structural model of the TCTP-eEF1Bδ CAR domain complex revealed the key binding residues. These residues are highly conserved in eukaryotic TCTPs and in eEF1B GEFs, including the eukaryotically conserved eEF1Bα, implying the interaction may be conserved in all eukaryotes. Interactions were confirmed between TCTP and the eEF1Bα CAR domain for human, fission yeast, and unicellular photosynthetic microalgal proteins, suggesting that involvement in protein translation through the conserved interaction with eEF1B represents a primary function of TCTP. 相似文献

Bax, a multi-domain protein belonging to the large family of Bcl-2 proteins, has a pivotal role for the initiation of the cytochrome c-mediated apoptosis, a vital physiologic process to eliminate damaged or unwanted cells. In response to specific stimuli Bax translocates from cytosol to mitochondria outer membrane where a process of oligomerization occurs with pore formation through which cytochrome c and other death molecules escape. The pro-death action of Bax is regulated by the interaction with other pro-survival proteins. However, the conformational changes and the structural details necessary for homo and hetero interaction with other regulating proteins are largely unknown. This article reports a combined investigation of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and automated docking that evidence the molecular regions of Bax involved in the binding with anti-apoptotic exapeptide (Bip) designed from Ku70, a subunit of the protein complex essential for non-homologous DNA repair but that inhibits also the Bax translocation to mitochondria. Since Bip suppresses apoptosis induced by several anti-cancer drugs, it appears relevant to achieve a better understanding of the structural and dynamical aspects that characterize the Bip-Bax complex in view of potential therapeutic implications. The present results show that the Bax region with the highest affinity for Bip is located in proximity of BH3 homology domain of Bax and also involves the alpha-helices 1 and 8. Moreover, the comparison of essential motions of Bax at 300 and 400 K before and after the formation of the complex with Bip evidences how the binding with the exa-peptide affects the collective motions of specific molecular districts of Bax considered to have functional relevance. 相似文献

Hot spot mutant p53 (mutp53) proteins exert oncogenic gain-of-function activities. Binding of mutp53 to DNA is assumed to be involved in mutp53-mediated repression or activation of several mutp53 target genes. To investigate the importance of DNA topology on mutp53-DNA recognition in vitro and in cells, we analyzed the interaction of seven hot spot mutp53 proteins with topologically different DNA substrates (supercoiled, linear and relaxed) containing and/or lacking mutp53 binding sites (mutp53BS) using a variety of electrophoresis and immunoprecipitation based techniques. All seven hot spot mutp53 proteins (R175H, G245S, R248W, R249S, R273C, R273H and R282W) were found to have retained the ability of wild-type p53 to preferentially bind circular DNA at native negative superhelix density, while linear or relaxed circular DNA was a poor substrate. The preference of mutp53 proteins for supercoiled DNA (supercoil-selective binding) was further substantiated by competition experiments with linear DNA or relaxed DNA in vitro and ex vivo. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation, the preferential binding of mutp53 to a sc mutp53BS was detected also in cells. Furthermore, we have shown by luciferase reporter assay that the DNA topology influences p53 regulation of BAX and MSP/MST1 promoters. Possible modes of mutp53 binding to topologically constrained DNA substrates and their biological consequences are discussed. 相似文献

Retinoblastoma-binding Protein 1 Has an Interdigitated Double Tudor Domain with DNA Binding Activity

Retinoblastoma-binding protein 1 (RBBP1) is a tumor and leukemia suppressor that binds both methylated histone tails and DNA. Our previous studies indicated that RBBP1 possesses a Tudor domain, which cannot bind histone marks. In order to clarify the function of the Tudor domain, the solution structure of the RBBP1 Tudor domain was determined by NMR and is presented here. Although the proteins are unrelated, the RBBP1 Tudor domain forms an interdigitated double Tudor structure similar to the Tudor domain of JMJD2A, which is an epigenetic mark reader. This indicates the functional diversity of Tudor domains. The RBBP1 Tudor domain structure has a significant area of positively charged surface, which reveals a capability of the RBBP1 Tudor domain to bind nucleic acids. NMR titration and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments indicate that the RBBP1 Tudor domain binds both double- and single-stranded DNA with an affinity of 10–100 μm; no apparent DNA sequence specificity was detected. The DNA binding mode and key interaction residues were analyzed in detail based on a model structure of the Tudor domain-dsDNA complex, built by HADDOCK docking using the NMR data. Electrostatic interactions mediate the binding of the Tudor domain with DNA, which is consistent with NMR experiments performed at high salt concentration. The DNA-binding residues are conserved in Tudor domains of the RBBP1 protein family, resulting in conservation of the DNA-binding function in the RBBP1 Tudor domains. Our results provide further insights into the structure and function of RBBP1. 相似文献

The tumor suppressor p53 is a multifunctional protein whose main duty is to preserve the integrety of the genome. This function of wild-type p53 as “guardian of the genome” is achieved at different levels, as a cell cycle checkpoint protein, halting the cell cycle upon DNA damage, and via a direct involvement in processes of DNA repair. Alternatively, p53 can induce apoptosis. Mutations in the p53 gene occur in about 50% of all human tumors and eliminate the tumor suppressor functions of p53. However, many mutant p53 proteins have not simply lost tumor suppressor functions but have gained oncogenic properties which contribute to the progression of tumor cells to a more malignant phenotype. The molecular basis for this gain of function of mutant p53 is still unknown. However, mutant (mut) p53 specifically binds to nuclear matrix attachment region (MAR) DNA elements. MAR elements constitute important higher order regulatory elements of chromatin structure and function. By binding to these elements, mut p53 could modulate important cellular processes, like gene expression, replication, and recombination, resulting in phenotypic alterations of the tumor cells. Mut p53 thus could be the first representative of a new class of oncogenes, which exert their functions via long-range alterations or perturbation of chromatin structure and function. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献
