There are two response elements for p53 in the promoter of the gene for the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. The binding of p53 to the 5' site was enhanced by incubation with monoclonal antibody 421, whereas the binding of p53 to the 3' site was inhibited. Mutational analysis showed that a single-base change caused one element to behave like the other. A response element in the human cdc25C promoter is bound by p53 with properties similar to the 3' site. These results identify two classes of p53-binding sites and suggest a mechanism for target gene selectivity by p53.
细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶抑制剂p21基因的启动子中有两个p53反应元件。用单克隆抗体421孵育可增强p53与5'位点的结合,而p53与3'位点的结合则受到抑制。突变分析表明,单个碱基的变化会使一个元件表现得与另一个元件相似。人cdc25C启动子中的一个反应元件被p53结合,其特性类似于3'位点。这些结果确定了两类p53结合位点,并提出了p53对靶基因选择性的机制。
