(Received for publication, June 29,
1995; and in revised form, August 14, 1995) p53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer.
Naturally occurring mutations of p53 are mainly located within a region
containing residues 100-300 and are predominantly of missense
type, resulting in loss of the protein's DNA binding activity.
Here we show that this type of mutation also represses the p53
N-terminal activation domain. The repression activity is localized in
the central region of mutant p53 containing residues 101-318.
Interestingly, the central region of a temperature-sensitive mutant
p53N247I possesses a movable and regulable inactivation function. It
represses other activities present on the same polypeptide chain
without strict regard to the configuration of that polypeptide only at
the nonpermissive temperature (37 °C) and not at the permissive
temperature (30 °C). Furthermore, this mutant p53 region exhibits
no other activity, and its function is independent of endogenous p53
status.
