Why Is p53 Acetylated?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent studies suggest that acetylation of the p53 tumor suppressor protein is not important for its DNA binding activity, as was previously thought. We discuss here a number of theories as to how this modification may serve to regulate the protein's functions.

Production of constitutively acetylated recombinant p53 from yeast and Escherichia coli by tethered catalysis.
Post-translational modification of proteins is a dynamic way of generating new protein-protein interaction interfaces that are critical for signaling networks in diverse cellular functions. Purified recombinant proteins frequently lack these signature modifications. Using the tumor suppressor p53 as the model protein, we present here a tethered catalysis approach for the production of acetylate...
متن کاملModulation of p53 C-terminal acetylation by mdm2, p14ARF, and cytoplasmic SirT2.
Acetylation of C-terminal lysine residues in the p53 tumor suppressor is associated with increased stability and transcription factor activity. The function, protein level, and acetylation of p53 are downregulated by mdm2, which in its turn is inhibited by the p14(ARF) tumor suppressor. Here, we show that p14(ARF) increases the level of p53 acetylated at lysine 382 in a nuclear chromatin-rich f...
متن کاملp53 sites acetylated in vitro by PCAF and p300 are acetylated in vivo in response to DNA damage.
The p53 tumor suppressor protein is a sequence-specific transcription factor that modulates the response of cells to DNA damage. Recent studies suggest that full transcriptional activity of p53 requires the coactivators CREB binding protein (CBP)/p300 and PCAF. These coactivators interact with each other, and both possess intrinsic histone acetyltransferase activity. Furthermore, p300 acetylate...

Acetylation of C-terminal lysine residues in the p53 tumor suppressor is associated with increased stability and transcription factor activity. The function, protein level, and acetylation of p53 are downregulated by mdm2, which in its turn is inhibited by the p14 tumor suppressor. Here, we show that p14 increases the level of p53 acetylated at lysine 382 in a nuclear chromatin-rich fraction. U...
متن کاملHistone deacetylase inhibitors induce in human hepatoma HepG2 cells acetylation of p53 and histones in correlation with apoptotic effects.
This report shows that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) induced apoptosis in human hepatoma HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Trichostatin A (TSA), ITF2357 and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), which were very effective agents, caused apoptotic effects after a lag phase of 12-16 h. In order to elucidate the mechanism of HDACIs action in HepG2 cells we have studied t...
