From the The p53 transcription factor is either latent or
activated through multi-site phosphorylation and acetylation of the
negative regulatory region in its C-terminal domain (CTD). How CTD
modifications activate p53 binding to target DNA sequences via its core
domain is still unknown. It has been proposed that nonmodified CTD
interacts either with the core domain or with DNA preventing binding of the core domain to DNA and that the fragments of the CTD regulatory region activate p53 by interfering with these interactions. We here
characterized the sequence and target specificity of p53 activation by
CTD fragments, interaction of activating peptides with p53 and target
DNA, and interactions of "latent" p53 with DNA by a band shift
assay and by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. In addition to CTD
fragments, several long basic peptides activated p53 and also
transcription factor YY1. These peptides and CTD aggregated target DNA
but apparently did not interact with p53. The potency to aggregate DNA
correlated with the ability to activate p53, suggesting that p53 binds
to target sequences upon interactions with tightly packed DNA in
aggregates. Latent full-length p53 dissociated DNA aggregates via its
core and CTD, and this effect was potentiated by GTP. Latent p53 also
formed complexes via both its core and CTD with long nontarget DNA
molecules. Such p53-DNA interactions may occur if latent p53 binding to
DNA via CTD prevents the interaction of the core domain with target DNA
sites but not with nonspecific DNA sequences.
