In order to study oxidative stress in peripheral cells of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, immortalized lymphocytes derived from two peculiar cohorts of patients, referring to early onset AD (EOSAD) and subjects harboured AD related mutation (ADmut), were used. Oxidative stress was evaluated measuring i) the typical oxidative markers, such as HNE Michel adducts, 3 Nitro-Tyrosine residues and protein carbonyl on protein extracts, ii) and the antioxidant capacity, following the enzymatic kinetic of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GRD). We found that the signs of oxidative stress, measured as oxidative marker levels, were evident only in ADmut but not in EOSAD patients. However, oxidative imbalance in EOSAD as well as ADmut lymphocytes was underlined by a reduced SOD activity and GRD activity in both pathological groups in comparison with cells derived from healthy subjects. Furthermore, a redox modulated p53 protein was found conformational altered in both EOSAD and ADmut B lymphocytes in comparison with control cells. This conformational altered p53 isoform, named "unfolded p53", was recognized by the use of two specific conformational anti-p53 antibodies. Immunoprecipitation experiments, performed with the monoclonal antibodies PAb1620 (that recognizes p53wt) and PAb240 (that is direct towards unfolded p53), and followed by the immunoblotting with anti-4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and anti- 3-nitrotyrosine (3NT) antibodies, showed a preferential increase of nitrated tyrosine residues in unfolded p53 isoform comparing to p53 wt protein, in both ADmut and EOSAD. In addition, a correlation between unfolded p53 and SOD activity was further found. Thus this study suggests that ROS/RNS contributed to change of p53 tertiary structure and that unfolded p53 can be considered as an early marker of oxidative imbalance in these patients. 相似文献

Point mutations in the p53 gene are the most frequently identified genetic change in human cancer. They convert murine p53 from a tumour suppressor gene into a dominant transforming oncogene able to immortalize primary cells and bring about full transformation in combination with an activated ras gene. In both the human and murine systems the mutations lie in regions of p53 conserved from man to Xenopus. We have developed a monoclonal antibody to p53 designated PAb240 which does not immunoprecipitate wild type p53. A series of different p53 mutants all react more strongly with PAb240 than with PAb246. The PAb240 reactive form of p53 cannot bind to SV40 large T antigen but does bind to HSP70. In contrast, the PAb246 form binds to T antigen but not to HSP70. PAb240 recognizes all forms of p53 when they are denatured. It reacts with all mammalian p53 and chicken p53 in immunoblots. We propose that immunoprecipitation of p53 by PAb240 is diagnostic of mutation in both murine and human systems and suggest that the different point mutations which convert p53 from a recessive to a dominant oncogene exert a common conformational effect on the protein. This conformational change abolishes T antigen binding and promotes self-oligomerization. These results are consistent with a dominant negative model where mutant p53 protein binds to and neutralizes the activity of p53 in the wild type conformation. 相似文献

Temperature-dependent switching between "wild-type" and "mutant" forms of p53-Val135 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The p53 gene is a suppressor of abnormal cell growth but is also subject to oncogenic activation by mutation. The mutant allele p53-Val135, has recently been discovered to be temperature-sensitive and functions as an oncogene at 37 degrees C and as a tumor suppressor at 32.5 degrees C. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the temperature sensitivity of p53-Val135 rabbit reticulocyte lysate was used to translate the p53 mRNAs in vitro at 37 degrees C and at 30 degrees C. The immunoreactivity and T antigen binding of wild-type protein p53-Ala135 were unaffected by temperature and were similar to wild-type p53 expressed in vivo. In contrast, the mutant p53-Val135 protein was markedly affected by temperature. At 37 degrees C p53-Val135 showed reduced T antigen binding and did not react with monoclonal antibodies PAb246 and PAb1620. At 30 degrees C, p53-Val135 behaved as the wild-type p53. Temperature also exerted a post-translational effect on p53-Val135 with complete conversion from wild-type to mutant phenotype within two minutes of temperature shift from 30 degrees C to 37 degrees C. There was incomplete conversion from mutant to wild-type phenotype when the temperature was shifted down from 37 degrees C to 30 degrees C. We propose that the temperature dependent forms of p53-Val135 represent conformational variants of the p53 protein with opposing functions in cell growth control. 相似文献

Two monoclonal antibodies against the p53 protein, PAb 122 and 200-47, were microinjected into mammalian cells as a probe to determine the role of the p53 protein in cell proliferation. PAb 122 recognizes the p53 proteins of mouse and human cells but not of hamster cells, whereas 200-47 recognizes the p53 proteins of mouse and hamster cells but not of human cells. The ability of these antibodies to inhibit serum-stimulated DNA synthesis of cells in culture correlates with their ability to recognize the species-specific antigenic determinants. More important, however, is the observation that microinjected PAb 122 inhibits the transition of Swiss 3T3 cells from G0 to S phase, but has no effect on the progression of these cells from mitosis to the S phase. 相似文献

Variation in antigenic determinants of p53 transformation-related protein obtained from various species 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

p53 is a cellular-encoded transformation-related protein. It is synthesized at elevated levels in tumor cells but has also been detected at low concentrations in several types of nontransformed cells. The p53 of tumor cells is immunogenic and elicits specific antibody production. The antigenic determinants of the p53 protein were studied by specific binding to anti-p53 monoclonal antibodies obtained from the RA3-2C2, PAb122, and PAb421 established hybridoma cell lines, and their conservation was followed in various animal species. We found that whereas mouse p53 efficiently immunoprecipitated with all three anti-p53 monoclonal antibodies, human and rat p53 bound PAb122 and PAb421 but lacked a determinant binding RA3-2C2. The hamster p53 molecule represented a third category, which immunoprecipitated with polyclonal anti-p53 antibodies but failed to bind all three monoclonal antibodies analyzed here. Using these monoclonal antibodies, we detected no variations between p53 found in transformed and p53 found in nontransformed cells, within a given species. The results also showed that RA3-2C2, which recognizes a mouse-specific determinant, binds a site located at a proteolytic digestion fragment of the p53 molecule that differs from that containing PAb122 and PAb421 recognition site(s). p53 is a single protein that can be immunoprecipitated through different antigenic determinants that vary between species. 相似文献

In this study, we expressed and purified the p53 mutant encoded by the His175 allele (p53His175) in a baculovirus expression system in order to study the folding and the DNA binding activity of the protein. A two-site ELISA revealed that purified p53His175 protein preferentially displayed a PAb1620 conformation, which appeared to be not sufficient to interact specifically with DNA. The cryptic DNA binding activity of this mutant was then investigated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay in the presence of anti-p53 antibodies, and shown to be refractory to significant activation by PAb421 (a potent allosteric activator of wild-type p53's DNA binding activity). Nevertheless, p53His175 DNA binding was regulated by antibodies targeting the N-terminal region of the protein. Furthermore, while the protein preferentially displayed a PAb1620 conformation, our data suggested the existence of an equilibrium between at least two folding states of the protein (PAb1620 and PAb240 conformations). A model rationalizing the conformation, antibody-interacting ability and DNA binding regulation potential of p53His175 is presented. 相似文献

SV40 large T antigen associates with a cellular phosphoprotein, p53, in virus-transformed cells. We have raised three new monoclonal antibodies, PAb1101, PAb1102 and PAb1103, to this cellular protein, derived from SV40-transformed human fibroblasts. These define at least two non-overlapping determinants on human p53 that are in different areas of the molecule from those recognised by previously available antibodies. Unlike those antibodies, PAb1102 and PAb1103 do not react with rodent p53. PAb1101 reacts far more weakly with rodent p53 than with primate p53. All three antibodies show a preference for binding to the large T-associated form of p53, an effect that is particularly marked with PAb1102. The novel specificity of these antibodies allows further probing of the nature and function of the large T/p53 complex in human cells. 相似文献

The 11-4 p53 cDNA clone failed to transform primary rat fibroblasts when cotransfected with the ras oncogene. Two linker insertion mutations at amino acid 158 or 215 (of 390 amino acids) activated this p53 cDNA for transformation with ras. These mutant cDNAs produced a p53 protein that lacked an epitope, recognized by monoclonal antibody PAb246 (localized at amino acids 88 to 110 in the protein) and preferentially bound to a heat shock protein, hsc70. In rat cells transformed by a genomic p53 clone plus ras, two populations of p53 proteins were detected, PAb246+ and PAb246-, which did or did not bind to this monoclonal antibody, respectively. The PAb246- p53 preferentially associated with hsc70, and this protein had a half-life 4- to 20-fold longer than free p53 (PAb246+). These data suggest a possible functional role for hsc70 in the transformation process. cDNAs for p53 derived from methylcholanthrene-transformed cells transform rat cells in cooperation with the ras oncogene and produce a protein that bound with the heat shock proteins. Recombinant clones produced between a Meth A cDNA and 11-4 were tested for the ability to transform rat cells. A single amino acid substitution at residue 132 was sufficient to activate the 11-4 p53 cDNA for transformation. These studies have identified a region between amino acids 132 and 215 in the p53 protein which, when mutated, can activate the p53 cDNA. These results also call into question what the correct p53 wild-type sequence is and whether a wild-type p53 gene can transform cells in culture. 相似文献

Mutant conformation of p53. Precise epitope mapping using a filamentous phage epitope library. 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25
Many naturally occurring point mutations in the p53 gene lead to a proportion of the encoded protein molecules adopting a distinct, "mutant" conformation characterized by exposure of a normally cryptic epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibody PAb240. Here the PAb240 epitope is defined using a filamentous phage epitope library. The hexapeptides displayed by the PAb240-binding phage isolated from the library were all highly related and allowed both direct localization of the epitope and prediction of a specific interaction between PAb240 and Xenopus TFIIIA. This study demonstrates for the first time the power of phage epitope libraries in the precise definition of previously unmapped epitopes. Identification of the PAb240 epitope precisely defines a region of the p53 molecule structurally altered by the mutation-induced conformational shift. 相似文献

The carboxy-terminal domain of the p53 protein comprising amino acid residues 311 to 393 is able to promote the reassociation of single-stranded RNA or DNA into duplex hybrids. This domain is as efficient as the intact p53 protein in both the rate and the extent of the double-stranded product produced in this reaction. Both wild-type and mutant p53 proteins from cancerous cells carry out this reaction. The monoclonal antibody PAb421, which detects an epitope between residues 370 and 378, blocks the ability of p53 to reassociate single strands of RNA or DNA. Similarly, the alternative splice form of the murine p53 protein, which removes amino acid residues 364 to 390 and replaces them with 17 new amino acids, does not carry out the reassociation reaction with RNA or DNA. This is the first indication of functionally distinct properties of the alternative splice forms of p53. These results suggest that this splice alternative can regulate a p53-mediated reaction that may be related to the functions of this protein. 相似文献

Isolation of a full-length mouse cDNA clone coding for an immunologically distinct p53 molecule. 总被引:19,自引:9,他引:10
Transfection of a cloned p53 gene into a p53 nonproducer Abelson murine leukemia virus-transformed cell line, L12, reconstituted p53 expression. The protein expressed in these cells was indistinguishable from that naturally expressed in p53 producer tumor cells. Conversely, p53 protein expressed in L12-derived clones that were established by transfection with a full-length p53 cDNA clone (pM8) exhibited a discrete immunological form. Immunoprecipitation of p53 with a panel of monoclonal anti-p53 antibodies showed that L12-derived clones that were transfected with the genomic p53 clone contained the same antigenic determinants as those found in the p53 protein expressed in tumor cells. These p53 proteins bound all monoclonal antibody types as well as the polyclonal anti-p53 tested. However, L12-derived clones established by transfection of the p53 cDNA clone (pM8) expressed a p53 protein that bound the RA3-2C2 and PAb200.47 anti-p53 monoclonal antibodies as well as polyclonal anti-p53 serum but totally lacked the antigenic receptor for the PAb122 and PAb421 monoclonal antibodies. The p53 proteins expressed by either genomic or cDNA p53 clones exhibited the same apparent molecular sizes and identical partial peptide maps. We suggest that transfection of the p53 gene induced expression of the entire group of the possible mRNA species, whereas cloned p53 cDNA (pM8) represented a single mRNA molecule that codes for a discrete species of p53 protein. 相似文献

Complex formation between the lymphotropic papovavirus large tumor antigen and the tumor suppressor protein p53 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The simian B-lymphotropic papovavirus (LPV) encodes a large tumor antigen (T antigen) which is 45% identical to both the simian virus 40 (SV40) and the polyomavirus (PyV) large T antigens. In transgenic mice, the transforming properties of the LPV T antigen are similar to those of the SV40 T antigen. However, little is known about its biochemical activities. Since SV40 T antigen forms a complex with and stabilizes the host cell tumor suppressor protein p53 while the PyV large T antigen does not, we characterized the LPV T antigen for its ability to complex p53. We demonstrate an association between LPV T antigen and p53 in both a tumor-derived cell line and BALB/c 3T3 cells transformed in culture. A third protein of approximately 68 kDa which was found associated with the LPV T antigen-p53 complex in tumor-derived cells appears to be heat shock protein 70 (hsp70). The half-life of p53 in all LPV T-antigen-transformed cells was extended significantly; i.e., it was 3 to 7 h compared with 19 minutes in BALB/c 3T3 cells. The half-life of the LPV T antigen itself was 5 to 9 h depending on the cell line origin. That p53 was stabilized because of association with LPV T antigen and not because of mutation was demonstrated with the p53 conformation-dependent monoclonal antibody PAb246. This antibody distinguishes between wild-type p53 (PAb246+) and mutant, oncogenic p53 (PAb246-). Sequential immunoprecipitation showed all detectable p53 to be of the PAb246+ class in each LPV-transformed cell line, suggesting that the stable p53 was indeed wild type. 相似文献

Molecular evolution of the thermosensitive PAb1620 epitope of human p53 by DNA shuffling. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Conformational stability of the p53 protein is an absolute necessity for its physiological function as a tumor suppressor. Recent in vitro studies have shown that wild-type p53 is a highly temperature-sensitive protein at the structural and functional levels. Upon heat treatment at 37 degrees C, p53 loses its wild-type (PAb1620(+)) conformation and its ability to bind DNA, but can be stabilized by different classes of ligands. To further investigate the thermal instability of p53, we isolated p53 mutants resistant to heat denaturation. For this purpose, we applied a recently developed random mutagenesis technique called DNA shuffling and screened for p53 variants that could retain reactivity to the native conformation-specific anti-p53 antibody PAb1620 upon thermal treatment. After three rounds of mutagenesis and screening, mutants were isolated with the desired phenotype. The isolated mutants were translated in vitro in either Escherichia coli or rabbit reticulocyte lysate and characterized biochemically. Mutational analysis identified 20 amino acid residues in the core domain of p53 (amino acids 101-120) responsible for the thermostable phenotype. Furthermore, the thermostable mutants could partially protect the PAb1620(+) conformation of tumor-derived p53 mutants from thermal unfolding, providing a novel approach for restoration of wild-type structure and possibly function to a subset of p53 mutants in tumor cells. 相似文献

The cellular phosphoprotein p53 binds tightly and specifically to simian virus 40 T antigen and the 58,000-molecular-weight adenovirus E1b protein. Many human and murine tumor cell lines contain elevated levels of the p53 protein even in the absence of these associated viral proteins. Recently the cloned p53 gene, linked to strong viral promoters, has been shown to complement activated ras genes in transformation of primary rodent cell cultures. Overexpression of the p53 gene alone rescues some primary rodent cell cultures from senescence. We isolated three new monoclonal antibodies to the p53 protein, designated PAb242, PAb246, and PAb248, and mapped the epitopes they recognized on p53 in comparison with other previously isolated antibodies. At least five sterically separate epitopes were defined on murine p53. One of the antibodies, PAb246, recognizes an epitope on p53 that is unstable in the absence of bound simian virus 40 T antigen. This effect is demonstrable in vivo and in newly developed in vitro assays of T-p53 complex formation. Using the panel of anti-p53 antibodies and sensitive immunocytochemical methods, we found that p53 has a predominantly nuclear location in established but not transformed cells as well as in the vast majority of transformed cell lines. Several monoclonal antibodies to p53 showed cross-reactions with non-p53 components in immunocytochemical staining. 相似文献

EGF, in pharmacological concentrations, inhibits cell proliferation of the MDA-468 human breast cancer cell line. Previously, we have demonstrated that this was characterized by a reversible cell cycle arrest at the G1-S boundary, concomitant with downregulation of mRNA levels for p53 (a point mutant, p53273.His). Since p53273.His is regarded as a gain-of-function mutant and acts to enhance cell proliferation, we hypothesized that the G1 arrest induced by EGF might be mediated by p53273.His. In this study, we report an EGF-dependent altered conformation as indicated by immunofluorescence, while no significant immediate effects of EGF-treatment on p53273.His protein levels and synthesis were observed. These experiments demonstrated a decreased PAb 240 (mutant-specific) reactivity of nuclear p53273.His in EGF-treated cells, while that of PAb 1620 (wild-type specific) was enhanced. Staining with PAb 1801 (pan specific), on the other hand, showed little change upon EGF treatment. Further studies indicated a decreased phosphorylation of nuclear p53273. His in EGF-treated cells. These EGF-dependent events were detected early enough to be attributed as causative of cell cycle arrest. We suggest that EGF-mediated, phosphorylation-dependent conformational change in nuclear p53273.His, and in turn altered p53 function, may be responsible for EGF-dependent growth inhibition MDA-468 cells. 相似文献

Biochemical and functional properties of wild-type (wt) and mutant p53 were studied under the same cellular environment by transient transfection. Exogenous wt p53 expressed in transformed cell lines was found to be as metabolically stable as mutant p53. Yet only mutant p53 bound to hsp70 whereas wt p53 did not, suggesting that the metabolic stability of p53 does not depend on its ability to form complexes with hsp70. The wt protein was expressed essentially in the nucleus, while mutant p53 showed both nuclear and cytoplasmic expression, as determined by immunofluorescence staining with PAb122. In addition, staining with PAb1801 revealed a number of strongly fluorescent cell fragments in cultures transfected by wt p53. Morphological features of apoptosis were observed in these cultures. Quantitative analysis by flow cytometry confirmed that only the cell population expressing wt p53 had a significant amount of cell debris. Thus, transient expression of a metabolically stable wt, but not mutant, p53 induces cell death by apoptosis. The present study demonstrates a model system to investigate the functional domains of p53 in the induction of apoptosis. 相似文献

In human fibroblasts, growth arrest at the end of the normal proliferative life span (induction of senescence) is dependent on the activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53. In contrast, once senescence has been established, it is generally accepted that reinitiation of DNA synthesis requires loss of multiple suppressor pathways, for example, by expression of Simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen, and that even this will not induce complete cell cycle traverse. Here we have used microinjection of monoclonal antibodies to the N terminus of p53, PAb1801 and DO-1, to reinvestigate the effect of blocking p53 function in senescent human fibroblasts. Unexpectedly, we found that both antibodies induce senescent cells to reenter S phase almost as efficiently as SV40, accompanied by a reversion to the “young” morphology. Furthermore, this is followed by completion of the cell division cycle, as shown by the appearance of mitoses, and by a four- to fivefold increase in cell number 9 days after injection. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that expression of the p53-inducible cyclin/kinase inhibitor p21sdi1/WAF1 was greatly diminished by targeting p53 with either PAb1801 or DO-1 but remained high and, moreover, still p53 dependent in cells expressing SV40 T antigen. As previously observed for induction, the maintenance of fibroblast senescence therefore appears to be critically dependent on functional p53. We suggest that the previous failure to observe this by using SV40 T-antigen mutants to target p53 was most probably due to incomplete abrogation of p53 function. 相似文献

In an effort to correlate the biological activity of the p53 protein with its conformation, we analysed 14 p53 mutants representative of the most frequently observed protein alterations in human cancers, at codons 175, 248 and 273 (22% of all mutations thus far reported), all three of which contained a CpG dinucleotide. Strikingly, most of the mutants at codons 248 and 273 did not display any change in their conformation, as probed by monoclonal antibodies PAb240 and PAb1620 or by binding to hsp70 protein. For all 14 mutants tested, we found a strict correlation between the transactivation properties of p53, tested either on RGC sequences or using the WAF-1 promoter, and inhibition of cell proliferation. All these mutants showed nuclear localization. Several mutants, present at a low incidence in human tumours, displayed wild-type activity in all our assays, suggesting that the presence of a mutation is not strictly correlated with p53 protein inactivation in tumours. Further analysis of nine thus far undescribed p53 mutants at codon 175 revealed a wild-type or mutant behaviour. All these results suggest that the occurrence of a mutation is dependent on two criteria: (i) the mutability of a given codon, such as those containing a CpG dinucleotide; (ii) the resulting amino acids, eventually leading to synthesis of a p53 conferring a growth advantage on the cell. 相似文献
