From the The p53 tumor suppressor protein functions as an
activator and also as a repressor of gene transcription. Currently, the
mechanism of transcriptional repression by p53 remains poorly
understood. To help clarify this mechanism, we carried out studies
designed to identify the minimal repression domain that inhibits p53
transcriptional activities. We found only eight amino acids (339)
of the COOH-terminal domain (termed P53MRD) that possess
activities of repression. The exact location of this minimal domain is
on the E6-binding region, and it lacks the ability of tetramerization.
P53MRD is able to repress the transcription of p53 while not affecting
VP16. The mutants (amino acids M340P and F341D) of native p53 also lost transcriptional repression of the thymidine kinase chloramphenicol acetyltransferase promoter. These results suggest that this
eight-amino acid element is required for the repression of p53.
