Sequence analysis of p53 response-elements suggests multiple binding modes of the p53 tetramer to DNA targets
16 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
The p53 tetramer recognizes specifically a 20-bp DNA element. Here, we examined symmetries encoded in p53 response elements (p53REs). We analyzed base inversion correlations within the half-site, as well as in the full-site palindrome. We found that p53REs are not only direct repeats of half-sites; rather, two p53 half-sites couple to form a higher order 20 bp palindrome. The palindrome couplings between the...
