Sliding of p53 along DNA can be modulated by its oligomeric state and by cross-talks between its constituent domains.

Abstract excerpt

The p53 protein is a homotetrameric transcription factor whose monomers comprise several domains. Although its organization with and without DNA was elucidated recently, characterizing the p53-DNA complex at the atomic level remains challenging because of its many disordered regions. Here we use computational models to predict the wiring of the four chains composing p53 and study its sliding dynamics along DNA in...
