p53 Oligomerization is essential for its C-terminal lysine acetylation.

Abstract excerpt

Acetylation of multiple lysine residues in the p53 plays critical roles in the protein stability and transcriptional activity of p53. To better understand how p53 acetylation is regulated, we generated a number of p53 mutants and examined acetylation of each mutant in transfected cells. We found that p53 mutants that are defective in tetramer formation are also defective in C-terminal lysine residue acetylation....
