Abstract excerpt
Phosphorylation of Mdm2, in response to DNA damage, resulted in prevention of p53 degradation in the cytoplasm as well as reduction of its binding with monoclonal antibody (mAb) 2A10. Using a 15-mer phage-peptide library, we identified two 2A10-epitopes on human Mdm2 (hdm2): at positions 255-266 (LDSEDYSLSEEG) and 389-400 (QESDDYSQPSTS). Synthetic peptides corresponding to the above sites, inhibit the binding of...
