From the BLM, WRN, and p53 are involved in the homologous
DNA recombination pathway. The DNA structure-specific helicases, BLM
and WRN, unwind Holliday junctions (HJ), an activity that could
suppress inappropriate homologous recombination during DNA replication. Here, we show that purified, recombinant p53 binds to BLM and WRN
helicases and attenuates their ability to unwind synthetic HJ in
vitro. The p53 248W mutant reduces abilities of both to bind HJ
and inhibit helicase activities, whereas the p53 273H mutant
loses these abilities. Moreover, full-length p53 and a C-terminal polypeptide (residues 373-383) inhibit the BLM and WRN
helicase activities, but phosphorylation at Ser376 or
Ser378 completely abolishes this inhibition. Following
blockage of DNA replication, Ser15 phospho-p53, BLM, and
RAD51 colocalize in nuclear foci at sites likely to contain DNA
replication intermediates in cells. Our results are consistent with a
novel mechanism for p53-mediated regulation of DNA recombinational
repair that involves p53 post-translational modifications and
functional protein-protein interactions with BLM and WRN DNA helicases.
