Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the kinetic and thermodynamic basis of the p53-MDM2 interaction using a set of peptides based on residues 15-29 of p53. Wild-type p53 peptide bound MDM2 with a dissociation constant of 580nM. Phosphorylation of S15 and S20 did not affect binding, but T18 phosphorylation weakened binding tenfold, indicating that phosphorylation of only T18 is responsible for abrogating p53-MDM2 binding....
