Noncanonical DNA Motifs as Transactivation Targets by Wild Type and Mutant p53
26 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Sequence-specific binding by the human p53 master regulator is critical to its tumor suppressor activity in response to environmental stresses. p53 binds as a tetramer to two decameric half-sites separated by 0-13 nucleotides (nt), originally defined by the consensus RRRCWWGYYY (n = 0-13) RRRCWWGYYY. To better understand the role of sequence, organization, and level of p53 on transactivation at target response...
